Stay on track with a UHOVI foundation degree

Whatever your A level results, it's reassuring to know that UHOVI can help you stay on track to a great career. You can study for a university qualification locally, so you may even save money on accommodation and travel too.

We offer a wide range of foundation degrees full-time or part-time with qualifications awarded by the University of Glamorgan or University of Wales, Newport. Foundation degrees are equivalent to the first two years of an honours degree, and most have the option to top-up to a full degree with an additional year of study (or the part-time equivalent).
