What are the entry requirements for a foundation year?

Foundation year entry requirements usually range from 64 to 72 UCAS Tariff points during the main application cycle and may be lower during Clearing. Applications below the published tariff may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Some courses have additional GCSE requirements, particularly in English and Maths. These requirements are important because they may also be needed for progression later in your degree.
