Foundation Course
Business Management Foundation Course
The Business Management Foundation Course is a
full-time, pre-university modular programme
designed for those who wish to study one of the BA (Hons) degrees
offered by RBS London, but whose present qualifications do not
permit direct entry to the first year.
The Business Management Foundation Course lasts for two
semesters and is taken at RBS London, where you will
prepare for degree level study.
Course Aims
The aim of the Business Management Foundation Course is to
prepare students for entry into Higher Education, ensuring they
possess the necessary knowledge, values, skills and competencies to
undertake one of the BA (Hons) degree programmes offered at
RBS London.
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.
RBS London delivers this in a dynamic international environment,
where you are supported by caring and professional staff.
BA (Hons) Degree Programme Entry
At the end of the Business Management Foundation
Course, we will assess coursework, exam performance and class
participation to determine whether you are ready to proceed onto a
degree programme.
As a new student you should expect to study two
semesters of Foundation level modules (6 new modules per
semester). Students need to achieve a minimum of 10 module
credits to progress to the first year of the Undergraduate
Programme at RBS London. (Remember to achieve a ‘credit’ you
are required to pass both the coursework and the examination
assessments of a module).
You are asked to identify your likely choice of degree programme
when you apply for the Business Management Foundation Course but
you will have further opportunities to confirm this choice or opt
for a different programme during the course.
Small Classes and Personal Attention
We firmly believe in the value of working in small groups with a
high level of personal attention in order for students to gain
maximum benefit from their time with us. Students welfare is our
primary focus and this is reflected in our practice of providing
advice and guidance, in both academic and personal matters. The
Course Leader will assist you in your choice of degree programme,
individual modules and choice of specialisation, as well as helping
with personal issues.
