Foundation Degrees: Barriers and Opportunities in the Professional Bodies Sector
|
Foundation Degrees are a work‐based study route to an academic qualification.
These degrees have the potential to increase access to higher education qualifications for less advantaged people while ensuring that the skills and knowledge imparted to them meets the demands of employers.
About the research
 In October 2010, Foundation Degree Forward (FDF) commissioned PARN to carry out research to identify how Foundation Degrees fit in with routes to qualification in the professions.
We also looked at opportunities for facilitating partnerships between professional bodies and providers of Foundation Degrees, as well as any barriers preventing such collaboration.
