Ways to study at TILL

There are various points at which you can enter University with TILL.

Enrol on the Foundation Programme in Combined Studies

Foundation level study provides a thorough preparation for a wide range of degree subjects, as well as the opportunity to experience university study and it is a recognised way for adults to prepare themselves for higher education.

Students successfully completing the Foundation Programme may progress to Level 1 of a BA/BSc degree within TILL.

Many students use this programme as a stepping stone to a full or part-time degree course at the University of Sheffield or elsewhere.
