We will look for evidence of proficiency in both literacy and numeracy preferably at GCSE but not necessarily. We recognise that you will be faced with a new environment, which, although exciting, offers a range of choices that you have to make. We have put in place good support to help you make the most of your opportunities. In each School there will be a tutor responsible for the foundation year and, in addition, for all foundation year students, the foundation programme coordinator and all the academic and administrative staff of the Combined Studies Unit are available at any time to offer advice, support or just a friendly person on whom you can offload your worries. If you study full-time you could get your fees paid by your Local Education Authority .
Help is also available for part-time students.
