Course Overview

This flexible Foundation degree allows you to study part-time while working in business or management. So you can keep earning as you achieve a higher education qualification which builds on your work experience.

The course develops your knowledge of people, marketing, financial and operations management as well as developing your own management skills, with an emphasis on work-based learning so you can immediately apply theory to practice.

Areas of study may include accounting for business; business management; marketing; intercultural management; and sustainability in business. The course also covers entrepreneurship and setting up a new business - ideal if your ambition is to set up on your own.

General Eligibility

A Foundation Degree will be of particular interest if you have completed a Modern Apprenticeship, vocational A levels, BTEC National or equivalent.

Foundation Degrees are also particularly suitable if you want to qualify while working.

As a guideline, a typical offer would require you to obtain a UCAS tariff score of between 32-48 points, based on your level 3 studies.
