Course summary
The Foundation Year Programme is a means of accessing degree study should you not meet the entry requirements for direct access to honours degree/foundation degree programmes. These are four- or five-year courses: students will be assessed at the end of their first year of study and progress to Year 1 of an Honours Degree (BSc Hons/BEng (Hons)) or Foundation Degree (FdSc). A pass at 40% gives straight progression to the BSc (Hons), BEng (Hons) or FdSc route that the student is on (transfer to another route can be requested but is at the receiving course manager's discretion) A pass at 60%+ permits transfer to any BSc (Hons) route, provided any additional requirements (such as work experience) are met.BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Science (+Foundation Year) XD12The route is the main pathway into our range of Animal Health, Behaviour and Welfare courses.
