The Foundation in Business and Management is a 1+3 year programme that results in direct progression to the undergraduate degrees related to business and management. This rigorous programme provides students with a strong academic background that will result in enhanced language, communication, critical thinking and study skills.
Students on this programme also chose from a range of elective modules that provide the opportunity to sample topics related to their chosen undergraduate pathway such business economics, management and quantitative methods.
Focusing on international business strategy and globalisation, you will study a range of general management subjects, such as accounting, business IT, economics, finance and quantitative methods. A special emphasis is placed on business and management in an international context, including the particular cultural, legal and political conditions affecting business in Asia and European countries.
