Your foundation year with us
Your Foundation Year will be studied at The College, Swansea University, a state-of-the-art, beachfront building located alongside the School of Management on Bay Campus. Upon successful completion of this initial year, you will move to the School of Management building to join our direct entry students in Year 1.
The Foundation Year is not a stand-alone qualification but is your first year of four at the University.
"The benefits of completing your Foundation Year at The College are endless. You will study a range of specialised modules designed to give you an excellent grounding in management disciplines before embarking on the remainder of your undergraduate degree at the School of Management.
“The College provides teaching in smaller groups, with a personalised and supportive educational philosophy which will encourage you to reach your maximum academic potential, in state-of-the-art surroundings. Our aim is to ensure you obtain the best possible results upon completion of your undergraduate degree.”
Dr Stephen Pratt, Director of Learning and Teaching at The College, Swansea University
