Next steps at Cardiff Metropolitan University

No traditional entry qualifications?

Cardiff Metropolitan University run one year Foundation courses which may be suitable for adults who do not have traditional entry qualifications but who do have other skills and experiences. Studying one of these courses for a year can really help grow your confidence and your skills.

On completion of this, you can progress onto one of a range of degree programmes offered at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Although a place cannot be guaranteed, it may be worth contacting our programme leaders to chat through your individual circumstances, they will be able to advise on steps necessary to take to access the course.
