Foundation Programmes

Are courses are designed with you in mind, which is why we have a range of options for students looking for pathways towards studying a full degree.

 

Degrees with foundation years

We offer a wide range of undergraduate courses with a foundation year.

The subject-specific modules on the foundation year will give you a strong introduction of what you will learn on your degree.  

The foundation year takes place at the beginning of a degree and extends your studies by a year. 

How you'll be taught

Foundation Studies: Certificate of Higher Education

Get the foundational learning, knowledge, and skills to successfully complete your chosen degree and get the career you want.

A one-year Foundation Studies: Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) will:

  • Give you knowledge in the subject you want to study
  • Build your confidence and personal strengths
  • Develop your ability to adapt your knowledge and skills in the workplace

Once you've completed the year, you can progress onto a degree that is related to your Foundation Studies: CertHE.

Are you a mature student looking to return to higher education but unsure about committing to three or four years? Are you wanting to start a degree, but aren’t sure exactly what subject to commit to?

This programme is for you. It's just one year, so you will get a full taste of university life to give you the insights you need to decide whether to pursue a full degree. And if not? On successful completion you are awarded a CertHE which you can use to further your career ambitions or return to studies later in life.
