Course Overview

In this course you’ll cover all the essential functions of management, operations, and human resources (HR), developing a wide-ranging knowledge of organizations and their business environment. This four-year Business Management BA (Hons) with Foundation Year in Business degree offers an alternative route into higher education and is designed for prospective students who may not have a sufficient or relevant academic background for University study.

In the integrated Foundation Year in Business, you will undertake modules to help develop your academic skills and confidence and will be introduced to key concepts, debates, and skills that will support and inform your second, third, and fourth years of undergraduate degree study.

You’ll study business objectives, practices, and principles through case study research, lectures, workshops, and student-led activities. You’ll look at the supply chain and logistics, production and project management as well as business organization, human resources, and the principles of leadership.

You’ll examine the modern business environment and how 'start-up' businesses grow as technology advances. You will focus on sustainability and the opportunities or limitations small businesses face, as well as develop your own concepts and business plans through a series of lectures, workshops, coursework, and group work.
