Course summary

Course overview

We offer a foundation year with all of our business degrees. This course is a great opportunity to spend an extra year at university, building essential knowledge and valuable skills that will benefit you throughout your degree. This is an ideal option if you do not yet meet the entry requirements for your chosen degree, you have been out of education for a while, or you do not feel ready to start studying at degree level.

The modules that make up this year long course give you a broad understanding of areas of business which are essential to the degree you will eventually study. This includes marketing, finance, human resource management, entrepreneurship, and much more. Through this you will come to appreciate the interconnections between different areas of business. You will also focus on developing the skills you need to succeed in any subject at university, such as:

  • Academic writing
  • Research skills
  • Working independently and collaboratively
  • Written and verbal communication

At York Business School all of our degrees are focused on your long term career goals. Whether you are thinking of setting up your own business, working in a large corporation or the public sector, we will give you the skills and understanding you need to succeed.

As a Business School we are passionate about social responsibility and sustainability. These values and this commitment will be embedded throughout this course. We are a Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatory for the United Nations. Our mission is to develop your potential so that you can make a difference in society.

On this course we keep your learning relevant by focusing on issues we face today, from democracy to environmental impact, and on potential solutions to these problems. While investigating complex philosophical questions you will also gain practical, employable skills which can be applied to a wide range of careers. In your Economics modules you will investigate:

  • Economic policy
  • Factors affecting income, wealth and wellbeing in an economy
  • Environmental economics
  • How economic metrics can be used to measure and enhance happiness in society
