"summary": "Our UK Foundation Years offer the opportunity for Home students who don’t meet our standard entry grades to prepare for a STEM degree at Lancaster University.\n\nYou’ll study your Foundation Year at the Lancaster University School of Mathematics, based at our delivery partner, Cardinal Newman College in Preston. However, with accommodation on Lancaster University’s campus and access to all our facilities, you’ll still be fully involved in university life.\n\nOur Foundation Years will follow the same semester dates as Lancaster University, with taught sessions taking place at Cardinal Newman College on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will not carry any formal teaching hours, but might be utilised for project or practical work on site at Lancaster University or remotely.\n\nThe teaching day will run from 10am to 4pm, with free transport from our Lancaster campus to Cardinal Newman College provided four days a week during term time. Foundation Year students travel from the Lancaster University campus to the Lancaster University School of Mathematics (LUSoM), located at Cardinal Newman College in Preston, four days a week during their first year. After successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will progress onto their chosen degree pathway with all study then taking place on the Lancaster University campus.\n\nA free coach service is provided for students, departing from the Lancaster campus and travelling directly to LUSoM. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes each way.\n\nStudents travel independently (unsupervised) on this service, similar to how many university students commute to placements or partner institutions. The coach is organised specifically for Lancaster students attending LUSoM, making the journey straightforward and reliable.\n\nTimetables and pick-up details are shared with students at the start of the academic year so they can plan their day easily.\n\nTimetabled sessions for Foundation Year students will be structured to incorporate elements of university-style learning, to include a combination of taught sessions, group work, problem-based learning and project work.\n\nYou will study three modules linked to your chosen degree during the year. Your timetable will include a combination of compulsory and optional STEM based modules, which will reflect your chosen degree pathway.",
