Business Studies BA(Hons): Business School First Year

All Kingston Business School students studying an undergraduate degree programme have a shared first year.

We know that it can be difficult to decide on the exact direction you wish your studies to take before you start. So having a shared first year means that you may be able to transfer from the first year of one course to the second year of another.
