Kingston University London

Science foundation year

We recognize that there are many routes to success at the degree level. Our science foundation year specifically caters to those who lack the traditional entry qualifications to join the first year of a science degree.

You are likely to be someone with either non-science-based qualifications, someone who has tried science-based subjects but has yet to realize their potential, or a mature student, with skills and experience from employment, who wants to return to education.

The foundation year has the benefit of being part of the extended degree. It gives you access to a range of activities and staff on the degree program that you will continue your studies on.
