Foundation Degree
Foundation Degrees are higher education qualifications that combine academic study with workplace learning. They have been designed jointly by British universities, colleges and British employers and are designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge that businesses and employers are looking for
The foundation degree is broadly equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. IT can lead straight to a job, or prepare students for developing their professional skills in the future through undertaking further higher education degrees. Students graduating with a 2-year British foundation degree can do two more years of university study to be awarded a bachelor degree.
