Foundation Year courses - January start

Whether you have non-traditional qualifications, want to change your subjects, have had a break from education and wish to return or want a change of career – the foundation years at Keele provide an opportunity for those with diverse backgrounds to access an honours degree.

Adopting a blended learning approach, the January start is particularly useful for students wishing to return to education following time out of studying, or who are seeking a flexible approach to their studies.

Our January start is available across many of our courses in Science, Humanities, Social Science, Health and Business.

Please note, our January entry Foundation Year offers a condensed programme (January-September). Upon successful completion, you will progress onto your degree programme in September.
