Foundation Degrees

Summary:

A Foundation Degree is a higher education qualification which combines academic and work related learning. They are university level degree programmes in their own right and offer an exciting work based alternative to the traditional university route. The emphasis of a Foundation Degree is on employability – as a student you will learn the technical skills and academic knowledge which will transfer easily to the workplace. Foundation Degrees are designed and delivered through partnerships between employers / employer organisations, the universities and further education colleges so that they meet the specific skills needs of employers.
