BSc (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year (3 Year)

The course starts with a foundation year 0, specifically designed to introduce and develop essential skills for success in Higher Education, including critical thinking and research skills, and the knowledge and understanding of key facets of business, accounting and economics. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you will successfully progress on to the two-year version of the BSc (Hons) Business Management course.

Specially designed with concentrated periods of learning, youll gain the same skills and experience in managing people, projects and resources as on the three-year course. However, youll graduate with a full honours degree a whole year sooner. With our course youll get ahead of the game and make your mark on the business world.

Graduates follow careers in a wide range of sectors including investment and finance, technology, health, utilities, manufacturing, media, and in management roles including: human resources, marketing, operations, supply chain and procurement, and project management.
