Tough to describe, technically it's just one.

It's called the Foundation Year, kinda a different way to take your first year BA.

It's all focused on liberal arts, so we do a section on the Ancient World, Middle Ages, Age of Reason etc. All of it focused on philosophy, theology, history, and the like. Instead of reading from textbooks, and studying it that way, we read the actual texts from that era.

As far as I can tell I go 4 days a week for a 2 hour morning lecture on a certain topic, then an hour later we sit for an hour in smaller classes of 10 and discuss it. Between all of this there is a huge amount of reading, and essays to be written.
