What is the difference between A Levels and Foundation?
A Level exams are recognised qualifications for entry to all British universities and to universities worldwide.  With an English language requirement of IELTS 5.5, it is a demanding course with a higher degree of difficulty than that of the Foundation course.  A Levels are usually taken over two years and students can apply to any university on completion, provided their results meet entry requirements.

The Foundation course is a shorter (one year) course, which is more targeted and focused.  Instead of studying three or four areas, it allows students to focus on one or two subjects enabling a deeper understanding of these areas of study.  Bellerbys Foundation students are guaranteed a place on one of over 680 degree courses offered by our 38 partner universities.  With an English language entry requirement of 4.5, this course is ideal for students seeking fast-track entry to university courses in diverse fields such as business, engineering, humanities, law, science, I.T.and art & design.
