Foundation Degrees are a higher education qualification in their own right, but they can also provide the basis for progression to further professional or academic qualifications at higher levels.
Foundation Degrees:
are new, vocational higher education qualifications;
integrate academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and universities/colleges;
offer a new route into and through higher education;
can reduce the barriers to learning, offering part time, full time, modular, distance and e-based learning modes, or a combination of all these, across a variety of locations such as employer premises, higher and further education colleges and universities;
can offer recognition of relevant prior learning and experience;
distinctive because they require the active involvement of employers and employer bodies, such as Skillset, in their design, implementation, and review.
