    Foundation Degree
    Hi

    I have nearly completed a Foundation Degree Science (FdSc) in Renewable Energy Engineering.

    1. Does the actual certificate show what module grades (%) you got?

    You see, we've been advised for two years that you only need a pass as the module grades (%) aren't shown on the certificate. However, now we're told it will say PASS, MERIT or DISTINCTION. So we may have been wrongly advised!

    2. Is the overall grade based on just year 2 of the foundation degree as it's level 5 therefore level 4 (year1) is discounted?

    Cheers

    Nicky

    Hi Nicky,

    I completed my Foundation Degree in Information Technology last year and recently received my certificate. The certificate itself has no overall module % or any Pass, Merit or Distinction on there, it just says your name, your University, what course and the date of completion! I don't think there should be anything to worry about
