Masters degree after a Foundation Degree?

[Nachosanddungarees]

I'm so confused. I was looking at doing a part time Top Up Degree for my Foundation Degree to become a full Bachelors in Science (engineering)

But I keep finding Masters available in my career subject (all around STEM and engineering) that don't require a FULL Bachelors. I didn't even know it was possible!

Has anyone else ever done a Masters after a Foundation Degree? I just feel like I'm cheating by skipping a year.

I'm 37 and love my career. And fancy cementing my love for the subject by doing a Masters for fun. I really value education and its always been a dream to do a Masters.

I finished my degree early and left with a FdSc instead of BSc because I was offered a graduate job back in 2008.

Thanks!

How long is the masters top up? I’d be worried that I wasn’t ready for the masters level of study and didn’t complete the course.

Are these one year masters courses or are they four year courses where you start as an undergraduate and finish with a masters if all goes well? Also where are you finding them? Clearing? General admissions are closed now because A levels are out soon.

Can you post a link to an example?

It's not about whether it would be "cheating" to do a master's course, but whether you have sufficient knowledge and skills.

I don't think anyone can answer without more details on the course(s) you're considering.
