What are Foundation Degrees?
Foundation Degrees are work focused qualifications which combine academic and work-based learning. They have been developed through close partnership between employers and the university in order to equip you with the skills and knowledge relevant to your employment.
After completing a Foundation Degree there are many other qualifications/courses that you can do to enhance your career prospects.
Please note these courses are not suitable for international students requiring Tier 4 Visas. The work placements exceed half of the total length of the course undertaken in the UK, which is not permitted under UK Immigration rules for Tier 4 students.
