Program Overview

Foundation in Business
The Foundation Programme is designed for students who either do not meet the requirements for direct BSc entry (level of English, school qualifications, etc.) or would like to gain additional confidence and skills in their subject area and general academic practice prior to the start of their degree course.

The Foundation Programme in Business provides an introduction to the academic disciplines of Economics, Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing, as well as their overlaps and interfaces, and guarantees progression to BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance, BSc (Hons) Business Management BSc (Hons) Business Management with Business Analytics, BSc (Hons) Business Management with Accounting and Finance, or BSc (Hons) Business Management and Media (subject to meeting the required criteria).

Progression to: BSc (Honours) Business Management and Media

This programme brings together two important areas of theoretical and practical study: the analysis and understanding of contemporary organisations, operations, structures, processes and decision-making in business and management; and the exploration of the proliferation, ubiquity and accelerating innovation of media communications, platforms, industries, forms, and patterns of media presumption.

The programme critically situates business and management in relation to a social, economic, political, cultural world supersaturated by media. Skills modules will cover key functions undertaken by business managers, entrepreneurs, or their teams. In the programme, students will be exposed to a range of live case studies and authentic business issues.
