About the course

The International Foundation Year in Business, Media and Social Sciences is your route to a range of undergraduate degrees at the University of Sussex. It is a university preparation course that will give you the English language level, academic knowledge, and study skills you need to succeed in your degree. It is an excellent choice for students who would like a little more support with their studies, or who do not meet the entry requirements for direct entry into a degree programme. During the International Foundation Year your learning will be structured in the same way as University teaching. This ensures you receive excellent preparation for undergraduate study.

　　You will explore, analyse and evaluate potential ideas for a micro-business start-up, taking into account the fundamental concepts of business, management and economics. You will be introduced to core business concepts including the managing of small organisations, the managing of marketing and people and the impact of the economy on business. This will require you to develop a range of transferable skills including language and communication skills, study skills, independent learning skills and skills of research and analysis.
