Integrated Foundation Year Degrees & Courses

Your integrated foundation year is 3 terms, starting in September 2021. You will then move onto the 3-year degree programme from September 2022.

Entry onto our 4-year degrees with an integrated foundation year typically requires between 56-72 UCAS points, however, you should refer to the specific course pages for specific entry requirements.

The potential to succeed can be measured in a number of ways including academic qualifications and skills obtained outside academic study such as work experience. We have a points range so we can take into account all of the information on your application form and adjust the offer from the evidence provided.

If you join us in September 2021/2 the foundation year (year 1) will be at a reduced cost of £6,000. Following that the fee will follow the usual BA/BSc fee.

If you are from the UK, you can apply for a loan to help with the cost of university fees. There are two types of loans you may be able to apply for - tuition fee and maintenance loans. There are no age limits on eligibility for tuition fee loans and government maintenance grants, so mature students can apply – provided this is your first degree.

Tuition Fee Loans

Full-time students from the UK can apply for a tuition fee loan up to £9,250 in 2021/2. This is paid directly to the university each year and is not dependent on your household income.

Maintenance Loans

You can apply for a maintenance loan to assist with meeting living costs such as food, accommodation, and travel expenses. These are normally paid in three installments throughout the university year directly to your bank account.

If you have undertaken any other previous Higher Education study, it is important to be aware that this can sometimes have an impact on the student funding, including tuition fee loans, available to you when you start a new course.

This is a complex area. If you are not sure of your entitlement to funding, it is important that you seek advice from your funding organisation or with a Student Money Adviser who can clarify exactly how your previous study will impact your future student funding entitlement.
