University Foundation Higher-Certificate Course in Finance & Financial Services


Bournemouth Business School International (BBSI), one of the most highly-accredited UK language colleges and business Schools, offers international students the opportunity to learn English while also studying finance, economics and business concepts, and acquiring the academic study skills required for undergraduate entry to a UK university degree programme.
 
For those with the requisite high-school grades and a sound Upper-Intermediate level in English, we offer a 24-week Higher-Certificate programme in Finance & Financial Services that enables participants to achieve the learning outcomes in shorter time.  For those with an Intermediate level in English, however, we offer the 36-week Diploma study option, which builds more gradually in intensity and specialisation.  Our University Foundation Higher-Certificate Course in Finance & Financial Services comprises 30 lessons (22.5 hours) weekly.   
 
In addition to gaining BBSI and NCFE awards, students can prepare for the University of Cambridge ESOL International Certificate in Financial English (ICFE) .  BBSI is an accredited ICFE Examination Centre. Both study options also include extensive IELTS Examination Preparation and Academic Study Skills , and facilitate undergraduate entry to a UK university.
