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.
