Course Description
The University of Bradford Foundation Year can now be studied at Craven College and provides a supportive route into Higher Education, designed to assist you to demonstrate that you can achieve a University Degree. It is a pre-degree programme that will provide a solid basis for future degree study.

It has been specifically designed to offer a route into Higher Education if you have not gained the results you were expecting, if you feel you are not quite ready to enrol on a Undergraduate Degree programme or are returning to study and feel you need some help to get up to speed with the demands of higher level learning.

It is an extremely flexible programme that allows you to choose modules that interest you to help construct a learning programme that is both challenging and stimulating. Coupled with the fact that you can study as either a full-time student or a part-time student, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

No matter what choice you make, the careful selection of modules available and the core modules will ensure that by the end of the Foundation, you will be prepared, confident and ready to tackle the demands of Undergraduate Degree studies.
