There are many routes onto the foundation year. It may be that you:

• are expecting to meet the entry requirements needed for the foundation year
• or may not have received the grades required for direct entry onto the first year of your chosen BA/BSc programme

Whatever the reason, this option will prepare you for the transition onto your chosen degree programme.
