FOUNDATION YEAR

A Foundation Year is designed to help you bridge the gap between your current qualifications and the requirements for an undergraduate degree.

If you do not meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate degree, the programme will help you prepare for your university journey before starting your advanced studies. During the Foundation Year, you will gain knowledge in your chosen subject that will help you progress onto your degree, knowing you have what it takes to succeed.

"So far, I have done my foundation year and it went so smoothly. I was very scared at first as this is a new thing for me as I did my high school exams 30 years ago, so I was a bit nervous and scared. But, I have excellent teachers and friends that I'm more confident."
