3.5-Term Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Media, Communication and Sociology

For students who have finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at City, University of London.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Media, Communication and Sociology

This course will enable students to develop the methodological expertise to analyse social data, as well as the analytical capability to identify and engage with social policy debates. They will develop specific skills relevant to a variety of professions, as well as critical thinking, which is prized in graduate employment.

The degree's affiliation with the Q-Step Centre ensures that graduates possess strong data literacy and quantitative methods skills, which are highly sought after in sectors as diverse as the government and local government, education, market research organisations, the not-for-profit sector, the financial sector and the news media. Students can further their data skills through a Quantitative Methods (QM) pathway for their final 2 years of study.
