This course is designed for mature students re-entering education, to develop the skills and knowledge required for progression on to a University of Bedfordshire Undergraduate course.

The Foundation Year provides an opportunity to build your academic writing skills and numeracy and you will also cover a range of specific content to fully prepare you for entry to your Undergraduate degree.

The Foundation Year is not a separate programme, but is fully integrated as the first year of a four-year degree. You will need to successfully complete the Foundation Year to progress on to the first year of your Bachelor’s degree.
