Course summary
The programme blends theory and practice to develop your understanding of management practice and is aligned to the principles of responsible management and sustainability goals.
A Foundation Year offers a transition into university life, bridging the gap between earlier forms of education and undergraduate degrees in Business. This programme will introduce you to a wide range of business issues, ranging from strategy and marketing to entrepreneurship and responsible management, whilst placing these topics within the broader context of academic and career development.
The curriculum aims to enhance your employability and career readiness as the modules blend skills and knowledge in a practical environment. This incorporates learning data analytical skills, acting ethically and responsibly in business and understanding how to lead business organisations within a global context.
How does this foundation course help with employability?
At Newcastle Business School, we have excellent links with local, national and international organisations. Through guest lectures and live projects, our students gain a knowledge and understanding of what it is like to work in industry. Employability is embedded throughout the Business and Management Foundation Year, providing you with the skills and knowledge to be career ready by the end of your degree.
Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will be positioned to automatically progress onto level 4 study. Your progression course will then build upon the skills gained throughout the yearlong foundation course, preparing you for future employment.
