Foundation courses are specific to that Uni only - they are not a transportable 'qualification' and not designed as a route to Year 1 entry at any other Unis. They bring you up to the entry requirements for that Uni - and this is why 'RG-type' Unis with higher entry requirements rarely if ever accept Foundation years from lower grade 'non-RG-type' Unis - especially for something as competitive as Engineering.

The bottom line is that you shouldnt start any Foundation year unless you actually want to compete the entire degree at that Uni. If you want to go to a 'better' Uni then the solution is to get higher A level grades not to assume you can sneak in later via a back-door.
