Keele University's English with Foundation Year is a BA that adds an opening year before the degree; the foundation year carries the preparation, and the degree after it is the standard one. The core programme studies literary texts in prose, poetry and drama across periods and traditions, often alongside a second subject in Keele's dual-honours framework. The offer rate sits at the competitive end.
