Foundation courses\
A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. Foundation courses are a great option if:

* You don’t have the grades for a full degree course.

* You have non-traditional qualifications or experience.

* You’re starting university after some time away from education.

* You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.

Life as a foundation year student\
During a foundation year, you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.

As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.
