What is a Foundation Year degree?

Arden Berlin offers a variety of undergraduate degree courses with integrated foundation years, designed to provide you with the support you need to successfully complete a full undergraduate degree. Alongside subject knowledge, foundation year entry degrees give you the opportunity to first develop and refine the basic skills needed for higher level study, covering areas such as academic reading and writing, numeracy, IT, research, presentation, and teamwork.

This is an ideal degree choice if you’ve been out of education for some time, don’t have the formal entry requirements for an undergraduate degree course but do meet our foundation degree entry requirements, or if you are looking to build your academic confidence ahead of your university studies.
