本课程针对非传统学生，其教学模式旨在在支持性和生产性环境中提供并促进高质量的教学，以鼓励自我意识，反思性实践和跨文化意识。本课程通过讲座，辅导/讲习班和实践课的混合提供。通常，讲座提供有关特定领域的关键信息，并且在适当的情况下，通过教程和/或讲习班以及实践课程加以合并，尤其是针对实验室和IT技能。该课程每周最多提供18个小时的联系时间，但通过在课程的正式联系时间之外提供的独立学习和/或自愿性研讨会，可以进一步巩固联系。重点放在建立信心上，班级通常较小，通常有25至35名学生，以确保能够满足个人需求。本课程
This course is focused on non-traditional students and the modes of teaching and learning are designed to provide and facilitate high-quality teaching and learning in a supportive and productive environment which encourages self-awareness, reflective practice and cross-cultural awareness. The course is delivered through a mixture of lectures, tutorials/workshops and practical classes. Typically, lectures provide key information on a particular area and this is consolidated through tutorials and/or workshops and practical classes where appropriate, particularly for laboratory and IT skills. The course provides up to 18 contact hours per week, but further consolidation takes place through independent study and/or voluntary workshops provided outside the course's formal contact hours. Emphasis is placed on developing confidence and classes are generally small, normally with 25 to 35 students to ensure individual needs can be met. This course is open to students from non-A-level backgrounds, mature learners, non-traditional students and international students requiring additional support to enter UK higher education. The first year of this course is spent with the Foundation Centre developing the skills and subject knowledge required for successful study at degree level. On successful completion of the Foundation Year students progress to the first year of their degree course.
