If you’re passionate about working in business but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for one of our Business Management degrees, this course is for you. The Foundation Year is your opportunity to step into Higher Education, giving you a broad-based view of the business world. You will develop knowledge and skills across key business disciplines, focusing on the study of organisations, management and the changing environment in which they operate.

The Foundation Year will give you a well-rounded start, with exciting topics in problem-solving, data-handling for business, marketing and communication, and culture - all building the strong foundations you’ll need to thrive in today’s domestic and international business environment. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake a work placement within an established workplace or with an enterprise start-up. Our recent revalidation ensures you get the most timely and up-to-date business education possible.

The business world is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, sustainability, and ethical pressures, and our new Business Management BSc (Hons) prepares you to lead within it, with all three themes embedded throughout every year of your degree. Your future employability remains at the forefront of our teaching, with our course development being directly informed by professional bodies, such as the institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE). Your specific style learning sits at the core of our teaching as well, as you are now able to choose your preferred assessment format across modules, helping us cater to a more diverse range of learners, allowing you to perform at your best.
