Foundation Years

如果你没有所选本科课程的成绩, you’re not sure which subject you’d like to take, or you’re returning to study after some time away, you may want to consider an integrated foundation year.

Why study a Foundation Year? 

成功地完成这一年的课程不仅保证了你选择一系列相关课程的机会, but also that you’ll be better prepared for university study.

  • 不符合直接入读一年级的要求
  • are returning to education after some time away.

Can a Foundation Year set you up for success? Watch our video...

  • Video transcript

    I think we were quite similar when we came to Sussex.

    我申请了物理理学士学位，但我的a -level成绩不够好.

    No, me neither!

    I got offered a Foundation Year because, like you, 我申请了理学士学位，但我从未听说过预科课程.

    When they offered it to me I thought, “Great! I can go to uni with a B and two Cs."

    A-levels was not my time at all. It wasn’t mine either!

    我选择预科是因为我觉得我没有开始攻读学位所需的基础知识.

    Sussex really set me up for that with the Foundation Year.

    During A-levels I just wasn’t getting it and I wasn’t sure why.

    我一直在练习，我甚至请了一个私人教师，他说:“你有知识，但你似乎不能把它应用到考试中.”

    I think we both suffer from stress during exams.

    We are definitely given a lot of support at Sussex.

    Especially from our Academic Adviser.

    Jackie has been great, hasn’t she?!

    She just listens. 我知道当我说一些事情可能会很愚蠢，有她在基础年支持我给了我很多信心.

    她说:“你现在的成绩足够好，可以去读硕士了.”

    “Oh! I’m actually quite good at this!”

    Yes, I feel much more confident.

    Both of us were struggling and now we are getting firsts.

    不仅仅是杰基，还有校园，太美了.

    Especially in the summer. It always gets my mood up.

    And you can go just 10 minutes out and you’re here. At this beach.

    这是一个可爱的地方，尤其是如果你因为考试而感到压力.

    校园里也有很多你可以去放松的地方.

    It’s so homely and welcoming.

    I just had a gut feeling. 虽然这听起来很奇怪，但我觉得，“在这里，我将更加自信，找到自我. 我不想成为那种在a -level考试中苦苦挣扎的害羞的人.”

    Look at me now! I can’t stop speaking!

    大家好，我叫Benita，目前是排名实时更新的二年级学生.

    I also did a Foundation Year in Business Management Economics.

    Outside of studies, I'm also a dancer.

    I enjoy content creating and I'm also a Christian.

    本视频将带大家大致了解我在正规买球app十佳排行的经历，以及我想给大家的一些建议.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] CHOOSING SUSSEX

    实际上，我是在考试当天听说正规买球app十佳排行的，因为我没有得到直接进入课程所需的分数，所以我必须通过考试.

    我来正规买球app十佳排行的主要原因是他们给了我一个学习商业基础课程的机会.

    So I happily took on the offer.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] STARTING UNI

    对我来说，上大学让我非常紧张，主要有两个原因.

    首先，我根本不认识正规买球app十佳排行学校的任何一个将要来排名实时更新的人.

    And also the fact that I was moving away from home.

    Home for me was London, and it was quite different to Brighton.

    但最终我适应了这种文化，显然我找到了朋友，结交了在整个旅程中支持我的朋友.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] FAVOURITE THINGS

    如果说我最喜欢在商科预科学习的一件事，那就是可以学习所有领域的知识.

    So that includes Marketing, Finance, Economics and Management.

    Pretty much everything about Business, 因为我当时不太确定我想要做什么.

    所以，如果你不确定你想进入哪个领域，我绝对会推荐任何人.

    或者你只是想在获得学位之前了解排名实时更新, then I would highly recommend doing a Foundation Year.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] HOW I’VE CHANGED

    During my time with Sussex, 我可以肯定地说，我在个人和职业上都有所成长，这显然是通过冒险，走出我的舒适区，以及参加社会委员会等活动, 为Into-University等大学下属公司做志愿者，也做兼职工作.

    So that whole experience has definitely helped me, not just professionally, but also personally and also with my confidence.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] WHAT’S NEXT?

    在接下来的大学旅程中，我非常期待的一件事是有排名实时更新的机会参加活动，并成为大学生社区的一员, 比如做排名实时更新的志愿活动，也可能成为我的课程的代表.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] MY ADVICE

    And lastly, if I was to give any advice.

    第一件事是不要担心没有朋友，就像我一样.

    有很多机会和事件你可以充分利用, such as Freshers Fair, 社会活动和大学活动，在那里你可以认识新朋友，在你的大学旅程中交朋友.

    And that's pretty much everything for this video.

    I do hope you found it valuable and useful. I'm wishing you all the best with results and university search.

在预科的时候和同学们见面帮助我轻松地进入了大学. 我有机会了解工作标准和组织需要. 这将使我在整个大学学习中占有优势.”Kadija Khatun
