Business and Management with Foundation Entry

Our BA (Hons) Business and Management degree aims to shape the next generation of
inspiring leaders. Develop your understanding of how organisations operate and the
importance of effective management.

The global business environment is everchanging. Organisations are looking for graduates with knowledge and
understanding of how organisations function. You need to know how some businesses outperform their
competition. You must have an appreciation of the need for an effective leadership.

This is an industry-relevant, practical and contemporary business and management programme. With close
links to business and enterprise, you'll have opportunities to gain vital work experience.

On this business management degree, there's plenty of opportunity for practical learning. Develop core
business and management skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, leadership and collaboration.
You’ll learn about the key ideas, models and theories that underpin contemporary management. Put your skills
into practice through live projects, short-term internships and volunteering. There are optional modules so you can
shape your studies and specialise to suit your career aspirations.

On our Business & Management Foundation Year course, you’ll gain the awareness and
skills to succeed in the dynamic, ever-changing world of business.

The foundation year degree programme is ideal if you've got the ability to study for a degree, but don't have the
necessary formal qualifications to directly join an Honours programme. A foundation year degree programme
allows you to develop your academic skills and build confidence in your abilities. This is so you can identify your
own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate programme.

We focus on practical learning and you’ll develop core business skills in key areas such as problem solving,
decision making, team working, communications, presenting, research and data analysis.

You’ll understand how organisations operate and the importance of effective management. By the end of the
programme, you’ll be an independent learner with the skills, knowledge and experience to make informed
decisions about your future career.

Throughout the course, you’ll attend a mixture of lectures, workshops, seminars, and tutorials. You will also carry out independent study.
We will assess your progress via coursework and there are no exams on the programme.
You'll get assessed by essays, reports, projects, oral presentations, and collaborative work. You will also use supportive technologies to help you complete assessments.
