degree-level study</h2> <p><strong>Please note that this course is only available to applicants eligible for <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/finance/studentfinance/policies/homefees" target="_self">Home Fee Status</a>.</strong></p> <p>Our foundation year business courses are designed to provide an accessible pathway into higher education for students who do not meet the standard entry-level requirements for degree-level study.</p> <p>These foundation year courses allow you to develop a strong base of business knowledge, improve key academic skills and familiarise yourself with the university environment before advancing to our <a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/">undergraduate courses</a>.</p> <hr /> <h3>Specialist modules and support</h3> <p>During the foundation year, you will undertake specially designed modules that will provide you with insight into fundamental areas of business such as marketing, operations management, accounting and finance. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop essential skills required for undergraduate-level study such as mathematics, statistics, problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, research, critical thinking, and academic writing.</p> <p>You'll need drive and dedication to your studies to progress through the foundation course, but you will be fully supported by our dedicated team of academic faculty, personal tutors, former foundation year student mentors and our administrative staff.</p> <hr /> <h3>Progression onto degree-level study</h3> <p>Successful completion of the foundation year business courses will enable you to advance to our undergraduate-level study at Warwick Business School through the following programmes:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/accounting-and-finance/">BSc Accounting & Finance</a> with Foundation Year</li> <li><a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/accounting-and-finance/">BSc Accounting & Finance</a> (With Foundation Year) with Placement Year</li> <li><a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/management/">BSc Management</a> with Foundation Year</li> <li><a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/management/">BSc Management</a> (With Foundation Year) with Placement Year</li> <li><a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/international-management/">BSc International Management</a> with Foundation Year</li> </ul> <p>At Warwick Business School, we are committed to providing access to higher education for talented and motivated students from all backgrounds and we recognise the barriers that often prevent disadvantaged students from pursuing degree-level qualifications.</p> <p>Our business foundation year courses are designed to overcome this, allowing students to reach their full potential. We value the diversity this brings and our entire school is improved when we have a student body that reflects the wide range of backgrounds that exist outside of our walls.</p> <p>If you're a <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/finance/studentfinance/policies/homefees" target="_blank">home fee status</a> student who is motivated and eager to learn but has not met our standard admissions criteria, please review our <a href="https://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/foundation-year/requirements/">entry requirements and widening participation criteria</a>.</p></div> </div> </div>
