Foundation coursesIf you don't have the formal qualifications you can still prepare for a degree

If you don't have the formal qualifications for immediate entry to a degree course, you can take a foundation course. These courses help you prepare for degree-level studies and gain the necessary academic background.

If you successfully complete the foundation year you progress to the first year of a degree course.

Our foundation courses are:

  • BSc Interdisciplinary Science (Extended science courses)
  • BMP Physics with Foundation Studies
  • BA Social Science (Extended degrees in social science)
