Higher Education Foundation Course (HEFC)


The HEFC (Higher Education Foundation Course) is a course for students who would like to go to university but who don't have the qualifications to do so. Typically, HEFC students have had a substantial break in their education and wish to return to learning for vocational or personal development. No previous qualifications are required although students are expected to have a minimum level of numeracy and literacy.

The course can also help those who already have a degree but have gaps in their academic profile which prevents them from going on to further study at postgraduate level.
