Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Management with Foundation Year (N20F)

Bangor University

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Management with Foundation Year is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as the three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for students wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.

The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers students the chance to expand and strengthen their confidence, skills and knowledge – ensuring that they are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the undergraduate degree.

By taking a degree in Business Management, students will develop a broad understanding of business organisations. They will learn how businesses develop strategies, make decisions, organise their internal resources, and manage risk and uncertainty.

Business and marketing case studies form an integral part of many of the modules, especially during the later stages of the course programme. In a case study, information is presented about a firm’s products, markets, financial structure, human resources and other factors that may influence its success. During the course students will discuss and analyse strategies and actions that the firm should take in the future.
