Course Description
Our foundation degrees are equivalent to studying the first two years of an honour’s degree, but unlike traditional degrees they have more flexible entry requirements. Created in collaboration with employers, they combine academic study with developing the skills and attributes needed in the workplace. It makes them ideal preparation for a specific profession or industry or for making progress in your existing career. You can always convert to a full honours degree by taking a Level 6 programme on completion.
