Entry requirements for a foundation diploma are deliberately accessible - the qualification exists to bridge people into higher study, so you generally need completed secondary education and a suitable level of English, rather than top grades. Exact requirements vary by provider and country.
What is usually required
- Completed secondary or high-school education, or equivalent
- Evidence of English at the required level
- Basic supporting documents and identification
Why the bar is accessible
A foundation diploma is designed for people who are not yet at direct degree entry, so it focuses on readiness and potential rather than demanding high prior grades.
What to confirm
- The minimum prior qualification accepted
- The English requirement and how to evidence it
- Whether your specific qualifications are recognised
The bottom line
Most people with completed schooling and reasonable English can qualify - confirm the specifics with admissions. For the International Foundation Diploma, ask the team to check your qualifications. See what English do I need? or enquire today.
