You will be able to top up if you have 120 credits at level 4 and 120 credits at level 5 and are working or volunteering in a school setting or equivalent. Ideally, your foundation degree will be in a teacher and learning related field, however we will accept level 4 and level 5 credits from other degrees should you also have significant experience in an education setting.
