How much is a foundation year?

The cost of a foundation year varies by course, but it’s typically charged at a similar rate to the first year of an undergraduate degree. The best way to find the exact cost is to check the fee information for the specific undergraduate course with a foundation year that you’re interested in.

What affects the cost of a foundation year?

A foundation year fee can vary depending on:

• Subject area: Practical or lab-based subjects (such as science, engineering or creative arts) may have higher fees than classroom-based subjects.
• Course structure: Integrated foundation years attached to a degree programme may differ from standalone preparatory courses.
• Your fee status: UK, EU and international students may pay different fees.

Most universities clearly list foundation year fees within each course’s entry details, as part of the overall undergraduate programme.
