Not sure what an Extended Degree is? We’ve got you. An Extended Degree includes a foundation year before your main course. This not only helps students prepare for university study but it also builds confidence before starting their degree.​ For some students, it can also provide another route into university if results day doesn’t quite go to plan.​ #UniAdvice #UCAS #NorthumbriaUniversity #StudentLife
