"Am I too old to study for a foundation degree?"

You are never too old to study for a foundation degree, but as foundation degrees are related to employment, you may want to consider a different course if you are not planning to work again.

The minimum age to start a foundation degree is 18, but about 75% of students are over 21 when they start studying, and many are considerably older.
