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. Some degree pathways may also have additional entry requirements that must be met either before starting the Foundation Year or before progressing onto the full degree programme. Applicants may be invited to attend an interview to assess their suitability for the Foundation Year. This may take place by telephone or online where required. Recognition of Prior Learning does not apply to the Foundation Year.
