Message from Head of Centre
"Welcome to the Centre for Foundation Studies. We are a teaching department at the University of Chester and we specialise in the teaching of all of the University’s Foundation Years. We pride ourselves on being student focused and offer a highly supportive learning environment for students undertaking the Foundation Year portion of their four-year extended degrees. I am proud to be working alongside a dedicated team of academics who teach exclusively on Foundation Years; they are consistently commended by their students for their dedication to teaching and student support across all subjects."
