This Certificate level course is designed as a stepping stone for those who wish to return to study but have not studied in any formal way for a number of years.
Participants are given an opportunity to sample a number of academic subjects so that they can make a more informed choice when selecting subjects later.
Students who obtain final grade of 60% or above will automatically be offered a place on the Bachelor of Arts degree programme in this university.
This Foundation level course does not carry ECTS and consequently does not qualify for Recognition of Accredited Prior Learning (RAPL).

- become familiar with the requirements of studying at third level
- introduce them to supports both formal and informal.
- develop effective techniques in study, writing, note-taking, and referencing.
- support personal development planning through a range of learning styles
- support the development of effective and confident communication skills,
