Module Aims:

The aim of this module is to provide and support students with the necessary skills base for engaging with Foundation Year modules, and to help students identify and develop a range of transferable skills in preparation for studying at degree level. The module aims to develop a reflective approach by helping students identify their own strengths and weaknesses, and plan for their personal, educational and career development.

Indicative Module Content

You will focus upon issues associated with commencing Higher Education with a primary focus upon personal development and employability. This module content will include establishing pre and quashing misconceptions about university life; the staff-student relationship and expectations; the importance of employability within the HE curriculum and engagement with Career Development Services and the CORE. 

Learning and Teaching Strategies

Teaching will be primarily through small group seminars, workshops, VLE/e-learning resources, and regular one-to-one tutorials with personal tutors/supervisors.

Our philosophy of learning and teaching, our understanding of teaching for Foundation years and CCCU policies and strategies have all influenced our specific approach to learning and teaching for the Foundation year. Our teaching methods have been developed with explicit attention to debates pertaining to student learning styles. As such, our teaching methods provide a framework via which students develop the capacity to manage their own learning and evolve, over the course of their studies, into independent learners, acquiring the knowledge, understanding and skills that are essential to learning in Higher Education and to lifelong learning, post-graduation.
