Foundation entry
We have a wide range of foundation entry degree courses for students who are ready to study for a degree but haven’t quite achieved the necessary qualifications for their course.
Foundation entry degrees are beneficial if you didn’t study the appropriate subjects at A Level or are returning to study after an extended break. Foundation entry degree courses typically involve an additional year of study at the beginning of your undergraduate course. Many of our foundation entry degrees offer some flexibility within the subject area at the end of the first year, giving you more time to decide on your specific pathway.
