2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business and Management (With a Year in Industry)

For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. 

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

In a dynamic and interconnected global economy, the role of management has never been more important. 

The University of York will equip students to be a holistic, resourceful, innovative and reflective practitioner of management, able to independently identify and develop their own specialisms. Students will be numerically and digitally literate, robust and ethically sound, sensitive to diversity and fully adaptable: a decision-maker able to cope with the demands of the 21st century workplace.

Students will gain an understanding of cutting-edge management theory, and develop deeper insight by putting their learning into practice during their year in industry. With a more flexible structure than the equivalent BSc, students can choose from a wide range of specialised modules to meet their interests.
