A foundation year provides the perfect environment to advance your academic abilities before continuing on to the full degree course. Key skills and knowledge gained during the year give you an excellent grounding and a wide exposure to a range of subjects within our triple accredited business school.

You'll develop your study skills including academic writing and personal and professional development to start you off in the best possible way for your degree. 

You will learn more about business in a global and national context, and approaches to leading and managing in organisations. The foundation year also gives you the ability to develop your analytical skills and learn how to incorporate data to add real value to achieve organisational objectives. 

Your foundation year is only the beginning of your journey to a successful business career.

It’s a stepping stone that will prepare you for a full business technology degree course and all the opportunities this entails.

Our graduates kick-start rewarding careers in business analysis, project management, IT management, and web development for leading organisations such as Microsoft, IBM or the NHS.

Your degree could take you anywhere – we have graduates working around the world. The option to study overseas or take a placement year abroad can give you a great head start.

You may have ambitions of setting up your own business or consultancy. Our incubator, Innospace, provides support and ideas to get you started.
