This foundation degree is a top-up progression route designed to offer an academic and professional development opportunity for non-graduate professionals in the lifelong learning sector. The programme enables newly qualified teachers to make the most of the professional formation requirements for Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) while experienced teachers will also benefit from studying the specialist modules focussing on professional practice.

You may choose to consider curriculum developments and further your application of technology enhanced learning, or you may prefer to focus on supporting learners with individual needs and promoting a commitment to inclusive education.

There are two distinct routes to the programme. You can enrol for the full foundation degree, where you will register to complete six modules over your period of study, normally 2 years (but you could take longer). Alternatively, you can register for one module at a time by choosing the modular continuing professional development (CPD) route which can be completed in up to 5 years.

About this course

The programme gives you the scope to study an individually tailored combination of modules that best reflect your working role and future aspirations.
