London Metropolitan University's four-year International Business Management (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree has a built-in foundation year (Year 0) that provides students with an alternative route into higher education if they don't have traditional qualifications, or can't meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate degree in business.
During the foundation year, students will be introduced to a number of areas of business and learn more about what it’s like to study in a university environment. This will give students the confidence to progress on to the following three years of study on the International Business Management BSc course.
This International Business Management (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) degree will prepare students for an exciting career in business management.
Students will gain insight into business practices from across the globe and benefit from lecturers with professional consulting experience in a range of specialisms, including bilingual business psychology, productivity and improving business competitiveness.
In the foundation year, students will learn alongside other business-related degree students. This gives them the flexibility to change on to another business degree if they’d like to change courses following the foundation year.
The foundation year will help develop students' academic skills and build their confidence in the study of business. Once students successfully complete the foundation year, they will progress to study the same content and modules as the International Business Management BSc (Hons) course. Students will graduate with the same title and award as people who studied on the traditional three-year programme.
Students will develop their earning through a variety of practical activities including interactive group sessions, workshops and assessments. The focus of the course will be on industry projects, case studies, executive summary reports, computer-based projects, group presentations, scenario simulations and seen/unseen examinations.
