Foundation Year

The Foundation Year Program is largely a journey through the past, but its goal is to help you understand our contemporary world more deeply. This interdisciplinary program is an ‘odyssey’—a journey that takes you and your fellow travellers to thought-provoking, unfamiliar places, but one that ultimately brings you home.

This journey happens through a chronological study of great books and ideas, from the ancient to the contemporary world. You’ll get a broad understanding of important intellectual developments—in philosophy, history, literature, drama, and the natural and social sciences.

Assignment types

You’ll write papers approximately every two weeks. You’ll take oral exams in December and April in which you’ll use your burgeoning oral communication skills to answer questions, and reconstruct, synthesize and assemble an understanding of what you’ve read. You’ll begin to communicate more clearly and persuasively, which will set you up to succeed in your second, third and fourth year of your degree. You’ll gradually gain the freedom not only to engage with the world, but also to change it.

The books challenge you. The process of reading and discussing them in a guided community of your peers will help you understand and appreciate their significance.
