A Foundation Year is the perfect way to boost your academic skills, build your confidence and develop your wider subject knowledge so you can succeed at Winchester. This course offers an extra year of study at the start (Year 0) which leads onto a full degree programme (Years 1, 2 and 3).

A Foundation Year is ideal if you are returning to education after a break; haven’t quite achieved the entry qualifications required; are wanting more support during the transition to studying at university; or are unsure about which subject you wish to pursue.

In Year 0, you will study a set of modules from across the Faculty of Business, Law and Digital Technologies which are designed to develop your academic and practical skills. This broader focus in your first year introduces you to studying at university level and provides you with a better understanding of Event Management and related subjects.

In Year 1, you are introduced to academic and professional studies and pursue a number of core modules which include business and event-specific modules.

In Years 2 and 3, you further develop theoretical and practical skills and explore some of the specialist areas of event management such as Sports and Mega Events.

During Year 3, you will undertake an extended independent study module and may choose from a consultancy project, a part-time work placement or a dissertation. Other key modules include Contemporary Issues in Event Management; Festivals and Cultural Events, and Digital Marketing.
