Want to improve your prospects?

Studying a Degree with Foundation Year Entry at Arden University is perfect for those who need a little extra support when embarking on their Degree course.

Whether it's been a while since you last studied or you didn't make the grade in previous academic study, Arden University offers Degrees with an integrated Foundation Year which lays the groundwork needed to go on and graduate with a full Degree. 

We know our students lead busy lives, so Arden offers two modes of study, Distance Learning and Blended Learning.

Our Blended Learning model makes the transition back to learning easier, offering a combination of face-to-face lectures with your course tutor based at one of our Arden study centres in either London, Manchester or Birmingham, alongside online study for the remainder of your time. Our Distance Learning model allows you to arrange your online studies around your current commitments. Both models offer more flexibility that traditional full-time campus study, meaning you can fit your degree around work, family or other commitments important to you.

Find out more about Arden Foundation courses, and our Blended Learning model in our video below.
