Foundation in Business Studies

A foundation in business studies is a preparatory academic program, often a one-year course, designed to provide students with foundational knowledge and skills for university-level business degree programs and to meet direct entry requirements. These programs introduce core concepts in areas such as accounting, economics, and management, while also developing essential academic skills like critical thinking, research, and academic English. Successful completion typically allows for progression to an undergraduate degree course at the same institution. 

The programs focus on developing the academic skills needed for university-level study including Critical thinking and research skills, Academic English language and terminology, Study techniques and autonomous learning methods. The course aims to bridge the gap for students who may not meet the direct entry requirements for an undergraduate degree program. These programs are specifically designed to introduce international students to the academic culture and requirements of a particular university's business school.
