this course is a stepping-stone course to one of our three-year courses business. a foundation year might be a good choice for you if you don't have the right qualifications yet or feel ready for degree-level study. or perhaps you are returning to study and want to get up to speed before starting a degree. the number of students who progress to degree study is very high and in fact, have gone on to become some of our most successful graduates. you will need to enrol on a four-year course, which includes the one-year foundation course. when you complete this year successfully you will progress directly onto one of our three-year degree courses.
