2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Engineering, Computing and Life Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) Business with Finance

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 Engineering, Computing and Life Sciences 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.

BSc (Hons) Business with Finance will develop you intellectually and prepare you for a successful career in business and finance related roles in a variety of industries.

You will study vital business principles, such as digital business intelligence, organisational behaviour and strategic management, while taking a financial pathway, which includes corporate investment and financial management, personal finance and financial reporting.

This programme is part of the 'Business with' suite, which allows students to transfer to a different specialism, such Digital Marketing, International Business Management or Media Communications, at the end of their first year of study.

Another advantage of this degree is the optional sandwich year in which you spend 48 weeks on a paid work placement in the UK or overseas. This will enable you to put into practice many of the concepts and techniques developed in years one and two as well as developing your personal skills and enhancing your CV.

Students who complete the placement year in the School's more established degrees tend to experience a significant improvement in their academic performance and many go on to gain first class honours degrees, often returning to work for their placement company after graduation.
