**This course may be referred to on our University materials by the name of Mathematics with Statistics with Foundation Year BSc. Mathematics with Data Science with Foundation Year BSc is the new name of this course.**
**Foundation courses**
A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:
You don’t have the grades for a full degree course
You have non-traditional qualifications or experience
