2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Business - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Marketing and Management

The 2-Semester Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Business is a one-year programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to Loughborough University. This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies at the university.

The International Foundation Programme is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the United Kingdom. The two semester programme lasts one academic year [nine months]. Each semester includes, on average, 13 teaching weeks, one reading week and one assessment week. On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week. This programme includes English and three academic subject modules. English will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects, as well as being taught separately if they need additional support to develop their English language. They will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure they are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final semester. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the University environment, and include project work, essays, and presentations.

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Marketing and Management combines a rigorous in-depth knowledge of marketing together with a solid grounding in business and management to prepare students for a wide range of exciting and rewarding career opportunities. They will develop highly prized specialist skills in digital marketing, consumer behaviour and global brand management, plus essential business and management skills in areas such as strategy and leadership. The Marketing and Management degree will also help them to develop their communication and interpersonal skills and their ability to work in groups – essential for working in fast-paced marketing and management roles.
