As an alternative route into university, a foundation year can ease you back into the education environment while providing access to the degree of your choice. If you successfully complete the foundation year, you can progress immediately into the first year of a degree.

More mature students are going to university than ever before. In fact, at the University of Bedfordshire, more than half of the student population is aged 21 or over. This presents you with a fantastic opportunity to mix with people with a shared interest.
If you're considering doing a foundation year, you shouldn't be put off because of a lack of formal qualifications.
