Course overview

A business qualification gives you a practical toolkit that transfers to almost any sector: finance, marketing, operations, people and strategy. You will learn through case studies, group projects and assignments based on real organisations, building confidence in analysis, presentation and decision-making.

The course begins with a Foundation Year that builds study skills, academic writing, numeracy and confidence. Pass it and you continue straight onto the honours degree with no need to reapply, which makes it one of the most reliable routes back into education.

Who this course is for

Ideal if you want a flexible qualification that keeps your options open, or if you already work and want to move into management. The Foundation Year makes it especially suitable if you have been out of education for a while.
