Hi Besseu13,
Congrats on your unconditional offer to study English Language with a Foundation Year with us!
The course has been designed to develop your knowledge about key authors and periods, as well as literature from around the globe. Your foundation year will combine the study of literature, drama, language and creative writing and over the duration of the course you’ll have the opportunity to go on work placements and a variety of trips to support your learning.
Our School of English has an amazing community atmosphere and before classes start you’ll have the opportunity to meet your classmates during Welcome Week. Our tutor’s doors are always open if you need a chat and there’s also a range of student clubs for you to get involved with, such as Write Club and the English Studies Society.
Speaking of societies, we also have a
Korean Entertainment Society, which is open to anyone with an interest in Korea. Members listen to Korean music, watch films, do quizzes and have multiple socials throughout the year, usually including karaoke and a trip to a Korean Restaurant located in Chinatown.
Birmingham itself is also a great place to live and study, there’s something for everyone! Take a look at our
student life in Birmingham page to see the types of things you could be getting up to.
If you haven't been here before, I'd recommend coming to one of our Applicant Taster Days next year. They're a great way to find out more about the course, get involved with some taster classes and meet staff and students. You'll also get a copy of our Book Club novel!
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Kiran
