Genghis I think that you are understating the requirements for Foundation Degrees a little bit.
The following text is taken directly form the UCAS website:
What are foundation degrees?
They are an intermediate, work-related higher education qualification. They are designed in conjunction with employers to meet skills shortages at the higher technician and associate professional levels.
They are offered by universities in partnership with higher education colleges and further education colleges. Flexible study methods make them available to people already in work, unemployed people, or those wanting to embark on a career change. On successful completion foundation degree graduates can revisit their career options, and may choose to progress to further professional qualifications or to an honours degree.
How long is a foundation degree?
Depending on the subject of study, a full-time course takes two years. Part-time is often three to four years pro-rata - your local higher education provider can give you more information.
In order to obtain university validation for the Kingston/Cabair course we had to make it a two year full time course.
You are of course correct that a Foundtaion Degree is not the same as a Bachelors Degree.
But the option to convert the Kingston/Cabair Foundation Degree into a full Honours BSC is available. This can be done by 1 one year full time course or a two year part time course.
