If you didn’t get the results you expected, or you don’t feel ready to start a degree just yet, applying for a degree with Foundation through Clearing could be a good option for you.

What is a degree with Foundation?

A degree with Foundation includes an additional year at the start to prepare you for degree-level study. Instead of a three-year programme, you’ll study for four years, starting with your Foundation year before progressing on to year one of the degree course.

Many of our degree courses offer a Foundation year – to find out more, see our Foundation courses page.

Why should you study a degree with Foundation?

A Foundation year allows you to start studying at university if you didn’t get the results you wanted, or if you don’t feel ready for degree-level study yet. 

Completing a Foundation year will help you to develop the academic skills you’ll need for degree-level study, while still enjoying student life at Westminster.
