Course summary
Have you ever thought about working towards a degree, but decided against it as you are already in employment or volunteering and don’t want to give that up?

This work-based Foundation Degree programme is a combination of practice-based learning and campus-based teaching sessions that take place once a week, allowing you to continue working or volunteering throughout the course.
