Programme overview
The Foundation in Business is for students entering higher education straight after O/Ls, or from a background that does not map onto a direct diploma entry. It builds the academic habits that degree-level study assumes: reading critically, writing to an argument, working with numbers and presenting an idea to a room.
Alongside those skills you get a genuine introduction to business, so that when you move into the Diploma or into a partner degree you already understand what management, marketing and accounting are actually for.
Successful completion guarantees progression into the PCHE Diploma in Business.
