BSc Business Management With Foundtion Year

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, students progress directly to the main three-year BSc Business Management degree. This comprehensive course equips students with a wide understanding and practical skills necessary for managing organisations. The course covers vital areas such as accounting, marketing, strategy, and operations, to prepare students for various professional roles or to pursue entrepreneurial ventures.
