3-Term Extended Undergraduate Foundation Program - Business, Economics, Finance and Management - Continue to - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport Business Management

The Undergraduate Foundation Program in Business, Economics, Finance and Management is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to a wide range of undergraduate studies at the University of Central Lancashire.

The Foundation portion of this program lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to eight teaching weeks and one examination week. On average, students will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week.

There are four academic pathways to choose from and candidates will study the pathway most suited to their chosen progression degree. Academic skills relevant to the specific subject area will be taught to fully prepare them for university study. The pathways are: Business, Economics, Finance and Management, Engineering and Physical Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences and Life Sciences.

Sport is a sector set apart from all others, putting business issues in a specific and unique context. The BSc (Hons) Sport Business Management course does the same. The students will get a well-rounded understanding of business theory, while learning how it all fits in the real-world sporting landscape. The students will cover a range of sport-orientated business modules, from sport finance and marketing to sport law and events and learn the core business disciplines like management, finance, strategy, operations and economics. At the same time, they will examine business in sport from a range of international perspectives, exploring issues like sustainability, globalisation, corporate social responsibility and corruption.
