<strong>Overview</strong><br/><br/>At UEA, we believe everyone should have the chance to study at degree level. You might not yet have the required grades. You may need a little extra support. You may need time to decide where your interests lie. If so, then our American Studies with a Foundation Year is the perfect choice. <br/><br/>Our Humanities Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study. You’ll focus on the topics which interest you and youll also create a toolkit of essential academic skills. <br/><br/>We provide a supportive and rewarding learning environment. Youll study with dedicated lecturers from UEA’s Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities and explore a wide range of academic subjects, including Literature, Drama, History, Philosophy, Film, Media, and Politics. We’ll help you make connections between different disciplines to spark your curiosity. Well also encourage you to work towards your own individual learning goals. <br/><br/>On your Foundation Year American Studies course, you’ll have access to all the opportunities and resources that UEA has to offer, including the Arthur Miller Institute. <br/><br/>As you develop your own academic interests and passions, you’ll then be well-placed to progress onto the degree that’s the best fit for you. After successfully completing your Foundation Year, you can move onto the BA American Studies degree. Alternatively, you can request to transfer to another undergraduate course within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Use the Foundation Year to springboard onto the degree of your choice and take control of your future studies. <br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong> <br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
