Techman,
That not correct, completion of the FD with Eastwood Park/Kingston Uni would allow you to complete one of their science based/maths/Management based programs if you so wished.
Kingston Uni will also have in place a distance learning program that is specific to medical equipment for students completing their FD with them, if you wish to continue with this line of study.
Lets not forget FD's are new and will take time to bed in properly, but they are here to stay. Check the out the foundation degree forward website:
