About this course

The Foundation Year is an articulated, structured programme of access to Higher Education. It will provide a solid basis for future undergraduate study at Bishop Grosseteste University. It is not a stand-alone qualification but is designed to underpin specific degree programmes to which it is directly attached e.g., BA (Hons) English Literature with Foundation Year.
