An honours degree would be level 8 on the NFQ. A level 7 degree is an ordinary degree by the NFQ standard so your course wouldnt qualify.

I agree with Chris85 normally you'd need an honours degree from here in order to do a masters. Try ths pdf, it shows how the different levels are across England, Ni, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. They are all a bit different. http://www.qualrec.ie/documents/CB_CQF2011_GreenFinal_001.pdf

Never realised how broad the Level 6 is in England and NI for the FHEQ, covers a very wide range of educational levels.

Does anybody know what the UK equivalent is to a level 7 degree when applying through UCAS?
dpower...Do you have to apply through UCAS for the 6 month foundation course?
