The Bedfordshire Foundation Year is designed to help you with the language and broaden subject content, to address a language or academic shortfall. The course combines English language, study skills for university and IT skills, which will help you progress on to your main degree programme.

The University of Bedfordshire EU & International Foundation Year is a general university preparation course, designed to improve your English language and academic study skills before you begin the first year of your chosen undergraduate degree.
