Foundation year courses in Clearing

If you want to build the right foundations to thrive in your degree. A Foundation Year is the perfect option for you. 

What is a Foundation Year?

A degree with a Foundation Year is a subject-specific course you can apply for if you have acceptable English language ability but school-leaving qualifications below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to a particular undergraduate degree. This gives you the tools you need to thrive in your degree.

You can apply for one of these courses if you have a minimum of two passes at A level, or another recognised post-GCSE qualification, but not in the subject areas needed for your chosen degree. You can also apply if you did not obtain high enough grades or you don’t have the necessary standard of English.

We have Foundation Years across a wide range of subjects including, business, law, architecture and engineering.
