Business Foundation Course Foundation Certificate

The Business Foundation Course is a bridging course which consists of one foundation year, followed by three years on an actual degree course. During your preparatory year, you’ll apply core competences in professional communication, IT, quantitative skills and business and management fundamentals. In the second semester, you’ll apply all this knowledge to more specific academic areas of study.

Learning materials are available on the Virtual Learning Environment, so you can access them any time. Seminars make use of group-work and discussions, workshops and computer lab work. As an undergraduate Business student, you will be allocated a named tutor during your first three weeks at LSBU. The role of your tutor is to be your primary contact for academic and professional development support. Your tutor will support you to get the most of your time at LSBU, providing advice and signposting to other sources of support in the University. They should be the first person at the university that you speak to if you are having any difficulties that are affecting your work. These could be academic, financial, health-related or another type of problem.
