Course summary

Whether you're interested in business, law, finance, or marketing - gain new skills, build confidence, and develop your capabilities before moving on to your undergraduate degree. Designed by experienced academics who’ve worked across key roles in a wide variety of industries, the Business and Law Foundation Year will help you develop a strong foundation of business knowledge alongside academic and transferable skills to ensure you get the most out of your degree-level studies. It also provides a direct entry point to one of our business-related or law-related undergraduate degree programmes.

Whether you’re interested in the private, public, charity, social enterprise, entrepreneurial industries, or legal practice, this foundation year is your gateway to developing the skills for your first management job, to set up your own business, or to pursue a career in law.

From core subjects such as business, law, finance, marketing, enterprise, personal development, and projects in the community, you’ll gain a solid introduction to the foundations of business and law, study contemporary business challenges, identify future trends and focus on the areas and industries which matter to you.

And throughout the foundation and subsequent full Solent degree, you’ll do more than learn the theory – you’ll learn to apply it through an innovative range of assessment and ‘real-world’ live briefs. Our degrees offer the chance to engage and get hands-on experience of international business and legal challenges and contexts, as well as a variety of extra qualifications, exemptions, and memberships in addition to your honours degree.
