What is an Integrated Foundation Year Degree?
We all face times in our lives when we have to make challenging, sometimes life-altering decisions. You might be choosing or switching careers, don't know which degree is right for you, or don't have the right qualifications to get to the next level. A Foundation Year Degree offers the perfect stepping stone to achieving your dream.
After the past few years, making these big decisions may seem even more difficult than ever, but there has never been a better time to make a change by studying for a degree.
In September, use your time to study and lay the foundation for your dream career. Explore what's possible with our selection of courses available this September.

Matt went straight from school to working in a bar wanting to study law. His understanding was that without GCSE's and A-Levels he couldn't, but at the University of Cumbria, his dream became a reality.
