3-Semester Pathway - Extended International Foundation Year - Business, Law, Social Studies - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) Business Management

Program Description This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at Liverpool John Moores University followed by entry into a university program offered at Liverpool John Moores University. In your international foundation year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

The International Foundation Year in Business, Law and Social Studies will familiarize you with a wide area of study. You will develop your critical thinking skills, creativity, analytical and team working skills, providing you with the most crucial skills required as a successful graduate.

​As a Business Management student you will become competent in:

• digital analytical expertise • managing finance with appropriate tools • understanding financial markets • people management • development and marketing of products and services • planning and project management delivery

Upon graduation, students will also be well prepared for the increasing challenges of global business and its environment.

The programme has seven core modules at level 4, which form the essential commercial underpinnings for a global career in the digital business world. After completing this first year, students can then specialise and gain accreditation in their chosen area of expertise.

You are encouraged to complete an optional year work placement in industry between the second and third year of study. This will provide you with a richer overall experience. It will also significantly enhance your employment prospects upon graduating, as you will have gained work experience that you can draw upon when completing application forms and interviews.

Liverpool Business School has partnerships with business schools at universities and colleges across Europe, in the USA and in China. Liverpool Business School recognises the importance of providing cultural enrichment opportunities for students and offers students on this programme the opportunity to spend a semester in their second year at a partner university abroad as part of their studies. All study abroad opportunities are in English. There are also many supported opportunities for activities at partner universities during summer vacations.
