Course Aims
The Business Foundation Course aims to prepare you for
entry into Higher Education, ensuring you possess the necessary
knowledge, values, skills and competencies to undertake one of the
Regent's Business School's BA (Hons) degree

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.

Small Class Sizes & Personal Attention
We firmly believe in the value of working in small groups with a
high level of personal attention. The Programme Director will

*Fast-Track
We offer a fast-track route within the Integrated Foundation, which
allows you to complete the Course in just one semester. In addition
to achieving a 60% average in all first semester modules, you must

Upon meeting these requirements, you may progress onto the BA
(Hons) degrees without taking the second semester of the Course.
