International Foundation Certificate in Management & Psychology

What you'll study Overview Two core modules concentrate on different areas of language development: Academic Writing. Reading. Listening. Speaking. A further module integrates research methods and skills and you will select two option modules offered by the Institute of Management Studies and the Department of Psychology. The option modules will offer you a taste of undergraduate study at Goldsmiths. Each student has a personal tutor, who you meet in small groups or on a one-to-one basis to discuss progress on the programme, general approaches to study, and ways of maximising language learning. Discussion of future plans is also important and you will receive support in researching and considering various degree options. Students who successfully complete the programme are guaranteed a place on a relevant Goldsmiths Bachelors degree, or may choose to take the award and continue their study elsewhere. You are encouraged throughout the programme to work independently and in particular to use the resources available in the Goldsmiths Library. Assessment The two core English for Academic Purposes modules are assessed by coursework, written examination and an oral examination. The remaining modules are assessed via a variety of methods which include, for example, essays and reflective journals. Successful completion at the required level will guarantee you a place on a relevant Goldsmiths degree programme.
