Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management (including foundation year)

This four-year Business Management (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree has a built-in foundation year (Year 0) that provides students with an alternative route into higher education if they don't have traditional qualifications or can't meet the business management entry requirements.

During the foundation year, students will engage with business challenges in a stimulating environment, while boosting their confidence and acquiring crucial academic skills. This acts as excellent preparation for the subsequent three years of study, which will allow students to specialise in more specific and advanced areas of business.

The innovative Business Management (including foundation year) BA (Hons) degree has been devised with valuable industry input, giving students an edge when it comes to seeking that all-important job when they graduate.

At London Metropolitan University, students will acquire key business skills and knowledge in the classroom but will be provided with a wide range of opportunities outside of the classroom too. The University is home to Accelerator, which provides advice, support, networks, knowledge and resources that can help students turn a business idea into reality. Based in Shoreditch, Accelerator is a unique resource that has helped many students and graduates establish their own businesses.

Students will share your foundation year with students on other business-related foundation year courses. This allows students to share ideas and insights with their classmates before going on to specialise in their subsequent years of study. Should students decide during their foundation year that they’d like to specialise in a different area of business, there is also some flexibility to allow them to do this.

Following the foundation year, students will study the same course content and get the same choice of modules as those who study the Business Management BA (Hons) course. Here, students will have the opportunity to explore decision-making, leadership, organisation design and management, with a range of optional modules to choose from. Alternatively, students can choose to transfer to the Music Business BA (Hons) course if they'd prefer.

Students will graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the same title and award as those who studied the traditional three-year course, but they will also gain a Level 5 Chartered Management Institute (CMI) diploma. As a member of the CMI, students can access their facilities, attend events and access over 200,000 live management jobs and its mentoring scheme.
