Program Overview: Business Management (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)
The Business Management (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons) at Bangor University is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year that leads to the same qualification as the standard three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.
The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers you the chance to expand and strengthen your confidence, skills and knowledge, ensuring that you are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the undergraduate degree. During the foundation year, you will develop essential academic and IT skills, including writing, communication, presentation, and how to use digital resources to support your studies.
By taking a degree in Business Management, you will develop a broad understanding of business organisations and learn how businesses develop strategies, make decisions, organise their internal resources, and manage risk and uncertainty. You will gain insights into specific business functions such as marketing, human resource management, accounting and finance, as well as specialised topics like entrepreneurship and international business.
