Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business and Entrepreneurship with Integrated Foundation Year

Many businesses rely on enterprise and innovation to manage uncertainty and ensure sustained growth. This course teaches students to become an effective entrepreneur and an innovative leader – with the insight to identify opportunities, implement new processes, harness new technology and transform global businesses into market leaders.

Students will discover how to identify and develop a potential market opportunity, and drive sustained business growth – undertaking market research, making strategic decisions, managing uncertainty, exploring new technology, generating ideas and overcoming challenges.

Working with classmates, students will construct a business plan for a new profitable offering and work together to refine it – for instance, analysing the cost implications of adding or subtracting certain features. By doing this, students will gain a solid grounding in business principles and a deep understanding of how enterprises thrive: learning core competencies like finance, law, regulations, operations and organisational behaviour, while developing specialist skills, creative thinking, strategic decision-making and ability to innovate, globally.

From global organisations to new start-ups, studying in London offers opportunities to engage with all aspects of the business arena – gaining valuable work experience and meeting influential industry contacts.

Students will join bootcamps, simulations and creative labs to learn to think like a leader and an entrepreneur, and work on live briefs commissioned by industry experts that will expose them to real-world business issues and give them the strategic skills to combat them.

Students will graduate with a practical, future-facing business education that's entrepreneurial, network-driven and tech engaged.

In the Foundation year, students will gain a solid grounding in academic skills and principles, as well as an introduction to their chosen subject area.

It will provide a rich and varied experience to ensure students are prepared for degree-level study in the UK – ready to develop specialist knowledge and confidently make the most of the course.

Some modules will be taken with students heading towards the same or related subject areas, while others will be taken with a blend of students – enabling student to mix with peers who bring a range of different perspectives and experiences to the classroom.

Students will take two modules related to their subject area and eight shared modules covering key skills like communication, critical thinking, cultural understanding, politics, data, creativity and entrepreneurship.

Once students have successfully completed the Foundation year, they will directly progress to Year 1 of their chosen degree-level course.
