Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the full time degree option where available in this subject. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

• Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE). This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor’s degree. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
