Is a Foundation Year for you?

We welcome students with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, including:

• those who aren't sure which subject they'd like to specialise in
• those who don't have the right combination of subjects for direct entry into Year 1
• those who don't meet the expected requirements for direct entry into Year 1
• those who are returning to education after some time away.
   

You will need to demonstrate your potential to do well on a demanding degree, including the potential to succeed in your chosen discipline.

The following sets out some of the most common academic qualifications. However, each application is reviewed on its individual strengths and merits.

• Home students: £9,250 per year
• Channel Islands and Isle of Man students: £9,250 per year
• International students: £18,500 per year

Note that your fees may be subject to an increase on an annual basis as the Government reviews the fee levels.

If you’re an international student, note that fees for the foundation year are at the standard lower rate but fees for courses you can choose to continue your studies are at the standard higher rate. This means your fees will rise from lower to higher level after the foundation year.
