Program Overview

The course starts with a foundation year 0, specifically designed to introduce and develop essential skills for success in Higher Education, including critical thinking and research skills, and the knowledge and understanding of key facets of business, accounting and economics. Upon successful completion of the foundation year 0, you will successfully progress on to the BSc (Hons) Business Management (2 year fast track) degree.

Specially designed with concentrated periods of learning, you’ll gain the same skills and experience in managing people, projects and resources as on the three-year course. However, you’ll graduate with a full honours degree a whole year sooner. With our course you’ll get ahead of the game and make your mark on the business world.
