Our International Business Foundation Entry programme teaches the theory and analytical skills needed by successful international businesses on a global scale.

Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an Honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study. Our programme is customisable, so you can shape your learning and specialise your education in a way that benefits your future.

You’ll study international business modules with a choice of options to suit your personal interests and career ambitions. These include: human resources, marketing, sales, finance, accounting, tourism, politics or trade.

This programme is ideal if you’re seeking a post with an international company as a graduate trainee or assistant.
