Foundation Programme

Undergraduate study is a uniquely rewarding challenge. This Foundation programme ensures you are ready to embark by closing any critical gaps in your knowledge or qualifications.

You will gain a full introduction to vital study formats, preparing you for every critical component of undergraduate study. The skills you develop also provide a clear head start on your fellow students when you begin your degree or HND.

Business Pathway

Key business disciplines like marketing and accounting are covered to ensure you have the practical knowledge you need. Gaining a clear understanding of key business areas also ensures you can make more informed decisions around your future study direction.

Hospitality and Tourism Pathway

This pathway provides ground-level knowledge of the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors. You will be able to progress to further studies (or start a career) with a clearer understanding of their critical operations. Key business disciplines, such as marketing and project management, are also introduced.

General Pathway

The adaptable nature of this programme allows you to combine modules from Leisure/Tourism and Business, to create a tailored package. You can then focus your final project on the area you prefer, having explored both disciplines.

Through a choice of two start dates, you gain the flexibility to begin your journey to success in January or February.

This Foundation Programme has been specially adapted from the broader Foundation in Contemporary Contexts Programme to deliver greater industry focus, and is accredited by Edexcel.
