Foundation Unit Subject Guides

For those students wanting to establish the nature or content of a particular unit before registering, or perhaps for those who have unfortunately experienced delays in receiving subject guides, we have produced this collection of files of partial subject guides for foundation units which you are welcome to download. Each contains the first four chapters of the subject guide for the unit. Note: for registered students, the subject guides are made available in full in the EMFSS VLE.

Please note: 02 Introduction to economics is not available online.
