Stratford-upon-Avon College is the first college in the country to achieve the Training Quality Standard with excellence in hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism, in recognition of its outstanding work with employers.
Foundation Degrees are vocational HE awards, designed with employers, which aim to develop technical and work specific skills underpinned by rigorous and broad-based academic learning. With the emphasis on work experience, Foundation Degrees are a two-year route to a degree and are highly valued in the job market. They focus on employability for young and mature students who want to work while they study.
This Foundation Degree is offered in conjunction with Thames Valley University. The programme is part-time and runs for 3 terms of 11 weeks each year and is based on 2 days of study each week.
The course is designed for those already in employment or school and college leavers who do not have a higher education qualification. This innovative course integrates employment skills with academic study.
What the course will cover Areas of Study: The two-year programme aims to provide managerial and business skills. The programme involves study and assessment in 12 modules, 6 at Level 4 and a further 6 at Level 5. The following modules will be covered:
· Level 4
· Food & beverage operations
· Rooms division operations
· Personal development 1
· Introduction to hospitality business finance

To achieve the Foundation Degree you also have to complete 1000 hours of work-based learning in the Hospitality industry.
Assessment The programme is assignment based and a variety of assessments are used including work-based projects.
Fees For UK and EU students the fees are £1,330 per year. If the whole amount is paid at enrolment, a discounted rate of £1,270 per year applies. For Non-EU students the fee is £1,270 per module (there are six modules per year).
Further Opportunities Foundation Degrees sit just below honour degrees and you can progress to further professional development on graduation or, with a further 12 months of study, achieve a related honours degree. If you are seeking to enter the industry with little or no previous work experience, the work-based nature of this programme will enable you to gain practical experience. For those with experience there are opportunities to gain academic credit for skills already mastered.
