Please note that the Cambridge Foundation Year is only open to those who have been ‘ordinarily resident’ in the United Kingdom for the three years prior to the start date of the course, and that residence should not have been wholly or mainly for the purposes of receiving education. However, applications are welcomed from those in the UK with refugee status, humanitarian protection status or asylum seekers.
Applicants must normally be nationals of the UK or have indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK, i.e. they must not be subject under immigration laws to any restriction on the period for which they may stay in the UK (unless they are a refugee, asylum seeker or have pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme). Applicants may also be eligible if they are not a UK national but are either under 18 and have lived in the UK for at least 7 years, or are 18 or over and have lived in the UK for at least 20 years (or at least half of their life).
