Undergraduate Foundation Program in Business and Social Sciences (3 Term), Leading to Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Journalism, Media and Communication and Economics

Program Overview

Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Business and Social Sciences
The Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Business and Social Sciences is a preparation programme for international students who don’t meet the direct entry requirements for an undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde. This pathway will prepare you for your undergraduate degree at the Strathclyde Business School or Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. Once you successfully complete the programme, you will progress to the second year of a four-year undergraduate degree.

You will study three core modules that will focus on general skills useful in your progression degree, plus route modules specific to your academic area.

Once you have completed the Undergraduate Foundation Programme, and subject to satisfying the progression criteria, you can proceed to the second year* of your four-year degree at the University.

Leading to: Journalism, Media and Communication and Economics BA (Hons)
Today’s media industry expands beyond traditional print and broadcast journalism. It includes professional bloggers and vloggers, freelance writers and editors, podcasters, people working in entertainment TV, radio, or film, creators of video games and interactive apps, promoters of ideas and products, and many others.

The most successful professionals in today’s media are not only highly skilled in reporting, writing, editing and pitching their material, but they are also excellent communicators online and offline, and problem-solvers. They are innovative and entrepreneurial, bold and curious, open-minded and collaborative. These are also some of Strathclyde’s core values, which guide our own teaching, research, and public engagement.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together. Studying Economics will give you the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

Pursuing this joint degree will engage you in useful learning in a broad professional context, which includes a critical understanding of the media industry, while acquiring technical and professional skills in journalism, communication, economics, information design and management, and using them in the dynamic media market of Glasgow and beyond.
