1 yearfoundation year first, then the full degree

  • No A levels needed
  • Experience counts
  • £0 upfront

How it works

  • Year 1 is a foundation year: study skills, writing and your subject basics.
  • Then you carry on into the degree, at the same university.
  • Most courses ask for GCSE English and Maths (or equal) and a short interview.

Who pays

When the foundation year is part of the degree course, Student Finance can pay both straight to the university. The foundation year usually costs less: up to £5,760.

Good to know

  • Your work and life experience count.
  • An adviser helps with the application and the interview, free.
