I might be doing a foundation course in Westminster as i might not get in my first option of course due to grades, and i dont mind doing 5 yrs instead of 4 , but i was wondering what can you expect from a foundation course in Westminster.

Hi there,

A foundation year before your degree helps prepare you for the first year of your course. You will learn how to study and be assessed, gain the skills needed for higher level study, get a good introduction to your subject area, get a taste of university life and receive a guaranteed place on your chosen degree once you pass.

That was very helpful, thank you very much. I just have one question. So i just need to do well at the end to secure a place for the official start of the course a year after as it is not guaranteed?

Hi there,

That is correct. After you successfully complete the foundation year you will progress on to Year 1 of your full degree course. Good luck with your application!
