The integrated foundation year gives you extra time to adjust to university-level study before you start your undergraduate degree.
An integrated foundation year degree is an undergraduate degree with an additional foundation year attached. It's designed for students who may not have the necessary grades for an honours degree programme or students who are returning to study later in life and need support getting back into the swing of it.
