What Is a Foundation Degree?
A Foundation Degree is a 4
-year university programme. It
helps you build the skills and knowledge needed to start
your degree, followed by three years of undergraduate
study leading to a full BA or BSc qualification.
The Foundation Year is an essential starting point for
students who need academic preparation before
beginning their full degree. Whether you start from the
Foundation Year or enter directly into Year 1 depends on
your previous qualifications and academic background.
This will be assessed once you submit your application and
supporting documents.
The full programme lasts four years—one year at
foundation level followed by three years of undergraduate
study. Courses are delivered full-time, with flexible
scheduling available. Daytime, evening, and weekend
classes may be discussed with your academic advisor
based on availability.
English Language Requirements
To meet English proficiency standards, students must
achieve 55 points on the university’s internal English test.
You may be exempt if you hold:
- An IELTS certificate with no score below 5.5
- A Functional Skills English Level 2 certificate
