Foundation Year in Business

You’ll get a taste of academic life in a supportive environment, with access to a range of facilities at Kingston College – not far from Kingston University’s Penrhyn Road campus.

Studying a Foundation Year in Business, validated by Kingston University, is your first step towards a full Business bachelor's degree. You’ll complete the programme ready to progress to Year 1 of an honours course.

Teaching will come from well-qualified Kingston College staff, with a wealth of cutting-edge commercial experience. You’ll learn about current business developments, hear from industry guest speakers and tap into a range of practice-related opportunities.

Why choose this course?

While you study, you’ll benefit from top quality teaching at Kingston University, which is ranked Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework. Kingston Business School is also in the 6% of business schools in the world to be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.

Maybe you don’t have the right qualifications to join the first year of a Business degree. Perhaps your previous studies have been in an unrelated field, or you’re returning to education after time in employment. Whatever your reason, this Foundation Year will help you realise your potential.
