University Foundation: Management & Business Administration


Bournemouth Business School International (BBSI), our highly-accredited business school and English language college in Britain, offers international students the opportunity to study English in Britain, while also studying management and business concepts, and acquiring the academic study skills required for undergraduate entry to a UK university degree programme.  Our University Foundation Course in Management & Business Administration comprises 30 lessons (22.5 hours) weekly.

For those with the requisite high-school grades and a stong Intermediate Level in English, we offer a 24-week Higher-Certificate university foundation programme that enables participants to develop their business, professional and academic skills to a more advanced level of proficiency in a shorter time.  For those with a lower Intermediate Level in English, the 36-week Diploma study option builds more gradually in intensity and specialisation and places more emphasis initially on developing proficiency in academic Engoish and study skills prior to the introduction of more advanced management and business training. 

Participants can achieve the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) awards in First-Line Management.   Both courses include extensive IELTS Examination Preparation and Academic Study Skills .  Both study options facilitate undergraduate entry to a UK university and successful students will therefore gain both BBSI and NCFE awards.

UK University Placement Service.  Students are provided with extensive counselling and guidance in all aspects of study at UK universities, and are given full assistance with the UK university application process.  All Foundation students who successfully complete their course are assured of a university place prior to graduation from BBSI.
