Course summary

Course overview

We offer a foundation year with all of our business degrees. This course is a great opportunity to spend an extra year at university, building essential knowledge and valuable skills that will benefit you throughout your degree. This is an ideal option if you do not yet meet the entry requirements for your chosen degree, you have been out of education for a while, or you do not feel ready to start studying at degree level.

The modules that make up this year long course give you a broad understanding of areas of business which are essential to the degree you will eventually study. This includes marketing, finance, human resource management, entrepreneurship, and much more. Through this you will come to appreciate the interconnections between different areas of business. You will also focus on developing the skills you need to succeed in any subject at university, such as:

  • Academic writing
  • Research skills
  • Working independently and collaboratively
  • Written and verbal communication

At York Business School all of our degrees are focused on your long term career goals. Whether you are thinking of setting up your own business, working in a large corporation or the public sector, we will give you the skills and understanding you need to succeed.

As a Business School we are passionate about social responsibility and sustainability. These values and this commitment will be embedded throughout this course. We are a Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatory for the United Nations. Our mission is to develop your potential so that you can make a difference in society.

You will discover how businesses operate and learn to apply these principles to the tourism and hospitality sectors. As you progress through the degree your learning will become increasingly specialised as you delve deeper into the issues and challenges surrounding these industries. You will learn about the importance of tourism and hospitality in global economic development, as well as focusing on issues of sustainability and ethical practice within the industries.

Being based in a city which is popular with both domestic and international tourists opens up lots of unique opportunities. We will take you beyond the lecture theatre to explore some of York’s cultural and heritage tourism sites. We have close links with organisations across the city and there will be opportunities to get involved in work experience placements with some of these partners.

You will also have the chance to take part in field trips to tourism and hospitality venues in various locations. The experiences, visits and perspectives specific to your course will be applicable to your studies and career, while also creating memories with your fellow course mates that will last you a lifetime.
