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.
