Foundation year: Business
If you would like to study this business degree at Kingston University but are not yet ready to join the first year of a BSc (Hons) course, you may want to consider studying this course with a foundation year.
The foundation year in business is part of a four-year degree and is taught at Kingston College, close to Kingston University's Penrhyn Road campus. You'll be introduced to professional skills, numerical concepts, business IT, marketing, customer care and business law.
Year 1
In your first year, you will become familiar with the foundations of business and entrepreneurship. You'll cover the environmental influences faced by organisations and the key concepts of marketing and sales. You'll also explore disruptive technologies and how they can be used to deliver digital enhanced solutions for all areas of business. You'll gain insights into how organisations and individuals collaborate to achieve organisational excellence.
Core modules
Year 2
In Year 2 you'll develop your problem-solving, decision-making and enterprise skills. You'll look at accounting and financial management, developing innovative ideas through business design thinking and sustainable and responsible management, all in the context of building your own organisation.
Core modules
Optional year
You have the option to take an additional year to study abroad or to undertake a year-long work placement (or even a mix of both).
For business students, this is a great opportunity to gain international experience and apply your learning in real-world settings. Whether through study abroad or a professional placement, you’ll broaden your outlook, build global connections, and develop key skills like adaptability and problem-solving.
Professional placement year
This course has a professional placement year option which takes place between Year 2 and your Final Year. During this professional placement year you will take a placement within a relevant setting, ensuring you gain essential experience to add to your CV and help you secure a graduate job.
Final year
Your final year develops your critical understanding and your ability to apply strategic thinking in start-up, scale-up, and SME settings. You will explore leadership in changing environments and be supported to develop your own leadership and future-focused professional skills. You will also examine how artificial intelligence is applied in business and innovation, including its practical uses, limitations, and ethical implications. You will also study how organisations become investment-ready – how they access funding through business angels, crowdfunding, venture capital and private equity, and plan for growth, pitching, and exit.
