A Foundation Degree in the UK has the equivalent credits of 120 for here. An Ordinary Degree course here is 180 credits. The Foundation Degree is the the US equivalent of a Associates Degree or a Higher Certificate here.

I would unlikely say you will get into a post graduate diploma with a Foundation Degree from the UK.
