Upon successful completion, you will automatically progress onto the first year of your degree.
Benefits
There are many reasons why starting your study adventure with a Foundation could be the right option for you:
- Guaranteed entry into an undergraduate degree – even if you don’t initially have the qualifications you need to join your chosen undergraduate degree, you are guaranteed entry after successfully completing your chosen Foundation. You will be issued one offer letter, combining your Foundation and the three years of your undergraduate degree.
- Flexible entry points – the Global Study Centre offers intakes in both January and September, allowing you to start your studies at a time that best suits you and your academic plans.
- Improve your English – all programmes at the University of Leicester are taught in English. No matter how strong your English is, the idea of studying in another language can be daunting. A Foundation offers dedicated communication and learning skills classes and will empower you to feel more confident when you enter your first year.
