FOUNDATION COURSE, ADVANCED DIPLOMA + INTERNSHIP + BA

Introduction

This fast-track 45-month course leads to a BA (Hons) in Business Studies and includes a 1-year work placement. The International Foundation Degree (first 9 months) offers you access to further studies and prepares you for the International Advanced Diploma. The BA (Hons) you will receive upon completion of the 45-month course will provide you with the necessary expertise to critically evaluate business models and concepts and apply them to real-world situations. You will be able to apply your skills to a wide-range of organisations, both commercial and not-for-profit.

Course Description

This combined package which leads to a BA (Hons) Business Management is designed for those students who do not have a relevant higher qualification, such as a HND in a business subject, and who want to improve their English skills before studying towards a BA degree in Business. The first nine months (Foundation Degree) combine English language training with several modules covering business-related subjects, computing, and cultural awareness. After 21 months, you will gain an International Advanced Diploma. With the option of a paid work placement, which will last one year, you will also enhance your CV with vital work/based skills. In the final year, you will study towards your BA degree, which will take another year.
