Foundation Degrees

The Media School is committed to providing the widest possible opportunities to study for higher education qualifications.

Our foundation degrees are delivered at our Regional Colleges.

A foundation degree is a Higher Education qualification which is equivalent to the first two years of a full time undergraduate degree. You can study for a foundation degree whether you have just left school/college or you're returning to learning after a break. There are more flexible entry requirements for Foundation degrees as previous work and life experience will be taken into account as well as existing qualifications.

Foundation degrees are a qualification in their own right, however, you may be able to carry on studying to get a related Honours degree.

You can carry on your study within the Media School by applying for one of our one year Top Up degree courses. On completion of a Top Up qualification, you will graduate with a full honours degree.
