Degrees with a Foundation Year

Four-year degrees that begin with a supported foundation year, ideal if you lack formal entry qualifications.

What to expect

A degree with a foundation year adds an extra first year designed to prepare you for university-level study. It is the most popular route for mature students and anyone without formal qualifications.

You apply once, for the full four-year programme. Pass the foundation year and you progress automatically onto the degree itself, with no need to reapply.
