Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don't have the necessary formal qualifications to enter directly onto their chosen Honours degree programme.

These skills will then allow you, if you have an interest in working in an educational setting, to gain hands on experience of the day to day tasks associated with the role of a teacher, and can be a valuable insight into a potential career option.The course combines Deaf Studies modules such as history, education, culture, community and language of Deaf people, such as British Sign Language. These are complimented by Education modules, such as those looking at theories of learning, diversity and inclusion in the education system, vulnerable learners, and opportunities to undertake a placement in an educational setting at each stage of your programme.<br><br>You will study British Sign Language and issues relating to Deaf people, their history, education, culture, community and language, learn aspects of current education policy and provision in England and explore the concept of inclusion in education.
