There's an option for that. It's called a Foundation Year — a preparatory first year before your full degree begins. Pass it, and you're guaranteed a place on the degree. No reapplying. No uncertainty.
Leave your details and one of our advisors will call you within 24 hours to discuss your situation and whether the Foundation Year route is right for you.
🔒 Your details are safe and secure. Free advice, no obligation.
A preparatory first year added to the beginning of an undergraduate degree. It's specifically designed to build your academic skills and confidence before your full degree begins.
Think of it as a bridge. Instead of needing to already have everything in place to start a degree, the Foundation Year gives you the time and support to get there — with the full degree waiting on the other side.
And the most important part: pass the Foundation Year, and you are guaranteed a place on the full degree. No reapplying. No uncertainty.
