Had a productive Foundation Year Science & Economics Reading Group session today looking at 'Deep Thinking'. Lots of good discussion relating ideas to progression routes. #foundation #reading #enrichment @du_foundation

We are looking forward to our Celebration & Welcome Event tonight where we will welcome new students and celebrate the achievements of last year's students who have progressed on to their degree programmes - looking forward to catching up with them! #foundation #success

Students chose this term's #Foundation Science & Economics Reading Group book @du_foundation - 'Deep Thinking' by Garry Kasparov. Looking forward to getting started, with current and former students joining in!

It was lovely to get to meet up in Academic Advisor groups today at Beamish despite the torrential rain! We hope that bringing back the Academic Advisor role will help to build #belonging and #community, while supporting students on their #Foundation Year and academic journey.
