Foundation year with AS-levels?

Hey guys,
So I’ve seen some universities offering foundation year along with the course that you’re interested in. So my question is, can I do the foundation course if I only have my As level results?

What do those courses state as their entry requirements?

64 UCAS points it also says ‘If you are a mature applicant (aged 21 and over), you will be eligible to apply for this course with level 2 qualifications (or GCSE equivalents). You will also need to provide a written statement, and will be interviewed as part of the process.’ (Additional entry requirements) does that mean I’m not eligible?

Not unless you're over 21, by the looks of it.

Phone that Uni and ask - but usually they will want full A levels / BTECs, unless you fulfil any special circumstances where they may make an exception.
