This course is offered as a degree with foundation year - a four-year programme which provides an additional foundation year at the beginning of the degree, that will give students academic and practical experience, as well as the skills they need to ensure they are equipped to successfully complete their chosen degree.

During the foundation year, students will take modules in English and Maths which will develop their core academic and study skills.

In readiness for the students' future career, students will acquire key attributes employers value, such as commercial acumen, self-reflection and emotional intelligence, alongside skills in research, numeracy, project management and leadership. 

Students will finish the course confident in their personal values, with the knowledge and experience to solve business problems ethically, and an ongoing passion for personal and professional development.
