International Business (Foundation Entry)
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.

Module Overview
Course Delivery
Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus, with some online teaching where we have learnt it works best.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
