We offer a foundation year with all of our business degrees. This course is a great opportunity to spend an extra year at university, building essential knowledge and valuable skills that will benefit you throughout your degree. This is an ideal option if you do not yet meet the entry requirements for your chosen degree, you have been out of education for a while, or you do not feel ready to start studying at degree level.
The modules that make up this year long course give you a broad understanding of areas of business which are essential to the degree you will eventually study. This includes marketing, finance, human resource management, entrepreneurship, and much more. Through this you will come to appreciate the interconnections between different areas of business. You will also focus on developing the skills you need to succeed in any subject at university, such as:
Academic writing
Research skills
Working independently and collaboratively
Written and verbal communication
At York Business School all of our degrees are focused on your long term career goals. Whether you are thinking of setting up your own business, working in a large corporation or the public sector, we will give you the skills and understanding you need to succeed.
As a Business School we are passionate about social responsibility and sustainability. These values and this commitment will be embedded throughout this course.
