Program Overview

International Foundation Year in Business, Media and Social Sciences
The International Foundation Year in Business, Media and Social Sciences is your route to a range of undergraduate degrees at the University of Sussex. It is a university preparation course that will give you the English language level, academic knowledge, and study skills you need to succeed in your degree. It is an excellent choice for students who would like a little more support with their studies, or who do not meet the entry requirements for direct entry into a degree programme.

During the International Foundation Year your learning will be structured in the same way as University teaching. This ensures you receive excellent preparation for undergraduate study.

You will study a range of different modules throughout the programme, based on the pathway that you choose. You can choose one of the following pathways:

  • Business, Accounting and Economics
  • Social Sciences with Maths
  • Social Sciences and Law
  • Film and Media
  • Finance and Technology (FinTech)

Leading to: History BA (Hons)

History doesn’t just teach you about the past. At Sussex, we’re curious to understand how we got to where we are today and where we’re heading in the future.

In the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, you’ll become part of a friendly community of students and expert academics. During your degree, you can choose to:

  • Explore topics such as legacies of empire, popular culture and social justice struggles across the world
  • Study global history from the 16th century onwards, covering the Middle East, Europe, Britain, America and Asia
  • Tailor your degree to what interests you most, from philosophy to law and modern languages
  • Open your mind to other disciplines with our range of electives and pathways – an important aspect of this degree.

You’ll become familiar with using historical evidence from physical and digital archives. The special collections at Sussex include the Mass Observation Archive and the German Jewish Family Archives.

When you graduate, you’ll have the analytic and practical skills needed for work in a range of careers. This could include teaching and museum curation, as well as marketing, PR, and roles in the Civil Service and the charity sector.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
