Thanks for the link.

So a normal Integrated course lasts 60 weeks so for just an extra 7 weeks you get a degree!
No, you get a foundation degree, which is what universities run now as an alternative entry qualification / vocational qualification for people who have poor, or the wrong A-levels. Typically a foundation degree at a university in the UK would take about 8 months of full time study.

Most of us with real degrees hate the fact that these things are called "degrees" - although without doubt they serve a useful function.
