Foundation Years
A Foundation Year offers a transition year entry point into university undergraduate studies for those who may not have the full entry requirements to start on a three-year degree. This includes mature students (over 21) who have no traditional qualifications but have a passion for learning and self-development, including aspirations to follow a particular career.
At Chester, we offer four-year undergraduate degrees that include a Foundation Year. For example, BA History (including a Foundation Year) or BSc Biomedical Science (including a Foundation Year). You are an undergraduate as soon as you enrol on your four-year degree, and are part of the University’s vibrant undergraduate community from day one.
For mature students, there is no minimum requirement. We review applications on a case-by-case basis and recruit through interview, primarily assessing individuals on their life experience and their commitment to study.
Our Foundation Years are also an excellent option for students under 21 who may not have the required UCAS points to start a three-year degree at the University of Chester. We require 72 UCAS points for our four-year degrees.
