With Foundation Year
Buckinghamshire New University
This four-year course is ideal for candidates who do not feel fully prepared to commence a university course immediately or miss the opportunity to study for a business degree due to being too occupied in their profession.
In this course, the preparatory foundation year helps the students to identify their strengths and developmental needs, the areas which are then comprehensively worked on as the student proceeds with the course.
Employers constantly remain on the lookout for graduates who are not just academically qualified but also work-ready with strong management & leadership skills. This course thus is meticulously curated to impart the students with the knowledge & skills required to be strong leaders.
With the ever-changing face of business in a global consumer-driven landscape, equipping students with professional skills in management and leadership is key to success.
In the foundation year, the student is thoroughly prepared for the degree course. The focus is placed on helping the student develop subject knowledge & the full range of study skills required to complete the degree.
In year ONE, students learn about the fundamentals which serve to form the required base for the study of business management. Core modules include finance, marketing, contemporary business environments, HR, leadership, and management skills.
In the year TWO, students gain a more strategic understanding of business issues and get to examine some of the current challenges facing business managers.
In the FINAL YEAR, students are expected to integrate, apply and evaluate the knowledge gained through their dissertation or consultancy project. With the modern-day business environment constantly in a state of flux, there is an ever-increasing emphasis on leadership skills.
The dissertation or the consultancy project remains the key focus in the final year, aiding the students to earn specialisation in their area of interest. Its value gets underlined at the time of graduation, allowing the students to showcase their particular areas of expertise at job interviews.
The course emphasizes boosting students’ critical faculties to enable them to better assess complex real-life problems. To further that objective, the course provides practical exercises to apply the acquired understanding in real-world scenarios.
Modules are revised periodically to reflect the latest developments in the subject area. The typical topics studied are enlisted in the different tabs here.
One unit of credit is equivalent to 10 notional learning hours. Full-time undergraduate students study 120 credits (1200 hours) per year or ‘stage’ of the course.
