University Foundation Programme: Business
The Foundation Programme
Our University Foundation Programme is a rapid route for international students to prepare and apply for university in the UK.
The programme is designed for students who have finished school in their home country, but whose school-leaving certificate does not qualify them for direct entry to a UK university. In other words, it bridges the gap between your high school education and entry into a British university degree programme.
Our team of tutors supports you from the moment you arrive, guiding you through the programme, providing advice on the university you choose to enter, and helping you to make quick progress in your academic career.
Our aim is to ensure that you get the best possible start to your studies in the UK.
The course
Our course includes tuition on language and culture, IELTS exam preparation and instruction on a range of study skills necessary to successfully complete your studies at tertiary level. The course includes a specialisation on business studies preparing you for entry into undergraduate degrees in Business and business-related subjects in selected UK universities.
Our classes are small, with no more than 10 students. There are two 16-week semesters, and students study for 20 hours per week.
Core subjects are:
- English for Academic Purposes & Study Skills
- English for Specific Academic Purposes(ESAP) for Business
- IELTS training
In your first semester you will study:
- Mathematics 1
- Business Studies 1 (Marketing, Numeric Statistics, Business Management and Administration)
- Accounting
- ICT
In your second semester you will study:
- Mathematics 2
- Business Studies 2 (Business Law, Organisational Behaviour, International Business Communication)
- Economics
Entry requirements
To join our University Foundation Course, you must be at least 17 years old and you must have completed secondary education in your home country. You should have IELTS 5.5 or equivalent.
You will also be expected to sit the IELTS exam at the end of your course, to gain the grade required by your chosen university.
Universities
Our tutors will help you to find the university courses that are right for you, guide you through the application process and help you to secure conditional offers from your chosen institutions.
