What is a
Foundation
Degree? A Foundation Degree comprises
academic study integrated with
relevant work-based learning
undertaken with an employer.
It can be studied full-time or
part-time and is a stand-alone
qualification in its own right. You
may be eligible for exemption from
the first year of a related degree
programme at some universities.
18 19What is a
Higher Level
Apprenticeship?
A Higher Level Apprenticeship
(HLA) is a nationally accredited
work-based programme similar
to traditional apprenticeships but
at a higher level. It is designed
to meet the needs of employers
for higher skill levels and leads
to qualifications equivalent to
university level.
20 21What is an
Honours
Degree?
An Honours degree is a Level 6
undergraduate qualification. It
is usually a three year, full-time
programme (or four if a work
placement is completed). You
may be able to ‘top up’ a Higher
National Certificate (HNC),
Higher National Diploma (HND)
or Foundation Degree to an
Honours degree through a
period of additional study.
