Course Description
This route offers you a four year (full-time) degree course, which will include opportunities for you to engage with the subject area of your choice, to select from a range of subjects to broaden your knowledge and understanding, and will provide structured study skills support as you build your confidence to study at degree level.

Levels 1-3 are timetabled across the full week and run across two semesters.
You will have the opportunity to explore a variety of academic disciplines, encountering a wide range of subjects and ideas. You will engage in a range of teaching and learning activities, including lectures, seminars, group work, workshops and online learning.
Passing your first year guarantees progression onto any of our undergraduate degrees offered with an integrated Foundation Year.
If you wish to study two academic subjects in depth our Joint Honours degree programmes are a great way to do this. Combining English Literature and Media degree programmes at York St John University provides you with the opportunity to explore how stories work, how they appeal to us, persuade us and affect us, whilst also developing your understanding of how media and culture affect who we are, what we do and how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
