Genghis the Engineer, you say
a BSc which has at-least 1 year of additional study and generally some big elements (such as the individual dissertation) missing from a relatively lightweight course such as a Foundation Degree.
I have not stated that a FD is at the same level as a BSc in fact i said
You can then use this for entry into the 3rd year of the honors degree, BSc(Hons)
All I was trying to say is, you can potentially gain a BSc with one years further study.
The Foundation Degree is a degree, the clue is in the name, however I agree it is the same academic level as a HND.
