Overview
This programme is a foundation degree designed for individuals who may not have formal academic qualifications beyond school level, and who may be currently working in any business organisation. This two-year foundation degree programme is designed to help students develop their career in business and management.
The programme corresponds with the first two years of an Honours degree and is designed to stand-alone as a qualification with the opportunity for students to apply and progress onto a third-year ‘top-up’ to complete a full BA (Hons) undergraduate degree in business and management. This foundation degree will develop students’ awareness and knowledge of business and key issues that affect modern organisations and how they are managed.
The programme is delivered using a combination of taught face-to-face modules and self-study; the work experience of learners is drawn upon and discussed in combination with theoretical studies to maximize the ability of learners to transfer theoretical learning from the classroom to the workplace, and vice versa.
Students will also undertake work-based practice in an organisational setting of their choice. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to choose assessments that are consistent with their learning styles. What’s covered in the course?
