Leeds is a popular city with students and a great place to study. We can help
you reach your potential, during and after your studies. At University Centre
Leeds we offer a range of Higher Education qualifications which include:
Foundation, top-up and bachelor's degrees PGCEs and Masters HNC/Ds Higher
Technical qualifications Nationally recognised higher and degree apprenticeships
Foundation Degrees are well respected qualifications in their own right and
develop specific expertise relevant to a particular sector of industry. This
includes key transferable skills such as learning skills, management of self,
communication skills, ICT and numeracy skills, academic writing skills etc.
Foundation Degrees are flexible qualifications and are designed to meet the need
of employers for highly skilled, work-ready personnel. The qualifications are
similar to Higher National Diplomas, but with added emphasis on work-based
learning. Unless a course states otherwise, Foundation Degrees generally last
two years (full time) though some courses offer a part time study option ā
please see individual course entries for further details. You can be confident
that our courses are industry relevant and current, written in consultation with
employers and key industry partners. Students spend the first two years to
attain a Foundation Degree, and then have the option to top up their
qualification to gain a full honours degree, either with us at University Centre
Leeds or at an alternative institution.
