Warwick Foundation Studies

Goal 3

To work in collaboration with other academic departments to support their international recruitment objectives (diversification of international student cohort, in terms of nationality and disciplinary choice)

We will:

Collaborate with other academic departments to support their recruitment objectives

We will achieve this by:

(1) Enabling the recruitment of UK students by developing a Year 0 programme in partnership with academic departments (2019-20)
(2) Creating bespoke short courses to bridge the gap between pre-university preparation and UG studies and/or bespoke pre-master's programmes for offer-holders (Ongoing)
(3) Broadening engagement with other academic departments at both the academic and administrative level (ongoing)

We will:

Ensure WFS courses remain applicable and appropriate for progression onto a wide range of Warwick degree courses

We will achieve this by:

(4) Seeking evidence that the exit qualifications achieved by students upon leaving WFS reflect their likely achievement during their future programme(s) (ongoing)
(5) Enhancing liaison with key academic departments on a range of issues (entry criteria; module content; opportunities for familiarization and participation in departmental activities; outreach and/or short course provision) (2018-19)
