Business Foundation Course

Foundation Course Overview

The EBS London Foundation Course focuses on key world events and the way these events impact on businesses in the global economy.

The full-time Foundation programme prepares students for the degree-level studies offered at the European Business School London. Course modules are assessed by means of coursework assignments and examinations. You may also study a foreign language (subject to availability).

Is the Foundation Course for you?

If your present qualifications do not allow you to be admitted directly onto our BA (Hons) degrees, or you simply want to feel more confident about studying business with languages, you may enrol on our Business Foundation Course.

Course Aims

Our Business Foundation Course aims to prepare students for entry into Higher Education, ensuring they possess the necessary knowledge, values, skills and competencies to undertake either the BA (Hons) International Business or BA (Hons) International Events Management degree programmes.

The course is carefully designed to focus on the academic areas most useful to your future studies.

We place great emphasis on encouraging students to reflect on their learning, and to be increasingly self-motivated and self-critical, with assignments and examinations becoming progressively more challenging and demanding throughout the course.

Course Outline

The Business Foundation Course is made up of compulsory and optional business and language modules, with tuition and assessment for modules taking place during each semester.

You will study a total of 12 modules over two semesters* (six in semester one, and six in semester two). Students will normally have up to 24 hours of contact time per week.

Small Classes & Personal Attention

We firmly believe in the value of working in small groups with a high level of personal attention. The Programme Director will assist you in your choice of a degree programme, individual modules and choice of specialisation, as well as helping with any personal issues.

Course Duration & BA Degree Programmes Entry

The Business Foundation Course is a one year programme, divided into two semesters*. Successful Foundation students are guaranteed progression to the BA (Hons) degree courses at EBS London.**

* Fast-Track Foundation Course

We also offer a fast-track route which allows students to complete the course in just one semester. If you achieve a high Merit (more than 65%) in all assessments during your first semester, you may progress onto the BA (Hons) degrees without taking the second semester of the Course.

** Students must achieve more than 40% in all assessments to be considered for progression to the degree programme.
