Academic Requirements

There is no formal UCAS Tariff point requirement for entry onto the Foundation Year. However, GCSE English or an equivalent qualification is normally desirable. Applicants must be able to demonstrate an appropriate level of English language ability, as the Foundation Year does not include specific English language upskilling as part of the programme. The Foundation Year is designed to provide an alternative route into undergraduate study for students who may not meet the standard academic entry requirements for direct entry onto the degree.
