Information for Applicants

How long is a foundation degree?

A full-time Foundation Degree usually take two years to complete, with attendance for lectures via block release, or other arrangements to suit your employer. You'll also complete work-based learning, so a proportion of your studies will take place in the workplace, assisted by a range of online materials. 

Who can do a Foundation Degree?

Aston’s Foundation Degree programmes have been developed in close collaboration with business and industry. Most students on our programmes are in work and sponsored by their company to attend the course.

What if I'm not employed or I'm not in relevant employment?

Enquiries from applicants not in relevant employment are also welcome as we may be able to put you in touch with an employer who could offer you suitable  work experience.
