Program details

Overview

This first year introduces business as a discipline and prepares students for later study of a business degree or a career in administration and management. Subjects include marketing, management, human resources, accounting and economics, giving a broad view of how organisations operate and make decisions. The course is delivered on campus over three days each week for the academic year, with flexible hybrid learning used at times through the year. Students who complete the year can gain the HNC in Business at level 7, and continuing into the second year leads to the HND. Graduates may move into supervisory or administrative roles in business organisations. Some progress to university courses through arrangements agreed with partner institutions, so it is worth speaking with the course team early.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Two relevant Highers at grade C, or progression from Business and Enterprise at Level 6 or a similar programme. Applicants without formal qualifications are considered individually.
