Foundation Degrees
Foundation degrees are two year, career-focused qualifications

recognised and highly valued by employers.
We have a range of Foundation degrees for you to choose from, whether you
want to boost your business skills, practice advanced beauty therapy, work in
the childcare sector or try something altogether more artistic. Once you have
finished your Foundation degree you can top up to a full BA or BSc Honours
degree at university.
Other courses available to you include the Extended Modular degree, a four
year programme where you study the initial year at College and transfer to
the University of Hertfordshire to complete your honours degree and the BA
Honours top-up in Advertising and Marketing Communications.
