The CertHE Foundation in Arts and Social Sciences is a one-year introductory course that is designed to prepare you for an undergraduate degree in either the arts or social sciences. You do not need any prior qualifications to apply, and you will be introduced to a range of study skills essential for studying these subjects at undergraduate level.

Join us at an Open Evening to meet academic staff and ask your questions.

On successful completion of the course, you can progress to a degree in an arts or social sciences subject at Bristol, providing you meet any additional course-specific entry requirements.

The foundation year has two pathways, which each lead to a different group of degree programmes:
  • Arts and Humanities pathway;
  • Social Sciences pathway.

On the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences pathways, you will examine specifically what it means to be human, now and in the past. You will explore how the society we inhabit and the culture we share have been shaped by ideas, historical events, political and social movements, and works of art.

Students on all pathways complete an Individual Project - a piece of research on any subject, often related to the degree subject you would like to study. Students on the Social Sciences pathway also work together on a collaborative research project for the unit Global Bristol.

You do not have to commit to a pathway when you fill out the application form, but during the application process, you will be asked to indicate which pathway you prefer. You can include more than one pathway in your application if you are undecided. All the pathways share some units in common.

This course is for students with a 'Home' fee status.'Overseas' fee status students should refer to our International Foundation Programmes. For information on how to check your fee status, please see our fee status information pages.

Applications are made directly to the University. You can find information about making an application on our how to apply page and advice about fees and funding from our Student Funding Office.
