Masters Foundation Research Conference
All MFP (Masters Foundation Programme) students are taught Research Methods here at Sunderland FoundationCampus. A conference was organised to give our students an opportunity to showcase the impressive work they'd done, giving a presentation on their chosen research topics. We were very pleased with the results, which clearly demonstrated that all their hard work had been worthwhile.

You can see some photos from previous trips here, and see a list of future events here.

Sunderland FoC Student Profile
Meet Priscilla, a student here
at Sunderland FoundationCampus.
Which programme are you studying at FoundationCampus and which degree do you want to progress onto?
I am studying the Life Sciences Undergraduate Foundation Course. I am going on to do Pharmacy.
Which programme are you studying at FoundationCampus and which degree do you want to progress onto?
I am studying the Life Sciences Undergraduate Foundation Course. I am going on to do Pharmacy.
How important is the guaranteed progression for you?
It was very important because I was told about the high
educational level of the Pharmacy course at Sunderland University. I had the
feeling that I would graduate here.
Has your English improved? Which areas in particular?
Sure, there has been an improvement in my English. The way I
interact with people has really changed and everyone around me has noticed it. I
write very well now. I am much more confident now.
Which parts of your FoundationCampus programme have prepared
you best for your degree?
Most of the things we have been taught I knew a little but
not very well. My knowledge has been
broadened. I did an ICT course before I came here but there are some things
that I have forgotten or I didn’t know and I have learned many things. I am so glad that I have improved.
If you could summarise FoundationCampus in one sentence,
what would it be?
I think that any student going onto the Pharmacy course
should go through FoundationCampus because it really helps one’s understanding
and knowledge. It gives you the freedom to communicate with people of different
backgrounds. It gives you the foundation of what you are going to study.
Would you recommend it to a friend?
Sure.

We have already shown ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ and are now taking votes to decide which film to show next:
