Where to start: 118 programmes, 11 entry points

Pick the entry point that matches what you have already studied. Levels follow the GOV.UK list of qualification levels; the university makes the admission decision.

Foundation Year, then the degree (18): A foundation year is an extra year at the start of the degree, designed to prepare you for undergraduate study. It is not a standalone qualification and it is not the same as a foundation degree; after it you continue into Year 1 of the honours degree.
Foundation Year, then a CertHE (Level 4) (1): A foundation year is an extra preparatory year; it is not a qualification on its own. After it you study for a Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE), a Level 4 qualification, the first level of higher education. The university confirms whether and how the CertHE can count towards further study.
Honours degree from Year 1 (27): A bachelor's degree with honours (for example a BA, BSc, BEng or LLB) is a Level 6 qualification. You start in Year 1; the duration shown on this page is the one listed for this course.
Level 4 qualification (CertHE or HNC) (5): A Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) and a Higher National Certificate (HNC) are Level 4 qualifications, the first level of higher education. A relevant Level 4 qualification can be used to apply for Year 2 of some degrees.
Level 5 qualification (HND or foundation degree) (8): A Higher National Diploma (HND) and a foundation degree are Level 5 qualifications. With a relevant Level 5 qualification you can usually apply for a one-year top-up to complete a full honours degree.
Year 2 (Level 5) entry to a degree (2): You join the honours degree in Year 2 (Level 5), usually with a relevant HNC or another Level 4 qualification, and finish with the full honours degree (Level 6).
Year 3 (Level 6) top-up (12): A top-up is the final year of an honours degree (Level 6). It builds on a relevant Level 5 qualification, such as an HND or a foundation degree, so you can finish with a full honours degree.
Postgraduate study for graduates (7): A course for applicants who normally already have a bachelor's degree. The university confirms the exact award and its level for each intake.
Master's degree (Level 7) (36): A master's degree (for example an MSc, MA, MBA or LLM) is a Level 7 qualification, normally studied after a bachelor's degree.
Doctorate (Level 8) (1): A doctorate is a Level 8 qualification, the highest level in the GOV.UK list. Professional doctorates are aimed at experienced professionals.
Short preparatory course (1): A short preparatory course that builds study skills before a degree. It does not lead to a higher education qualification on its own.

Business & Management: frequently asked questions

Which business course level should I start at?

It depends on what you have already studied. The 118 programmes on this page start at different points: degree with a foundation year (18), foundation year followed by a CertHE (Level 4) (1), honours degree from Year 1 (27), CertHE or HNC (Level 4) (5), HND or foundation degree (Level 5) (8), Year 2 entry (2), one-year top-up (Level 6) (12), postgraduate course for graduates (7), master's degree (Level 7) (36), doctorate (Level 8) (1), short preparatory course (1). As a rule of thumb, a foundation year can suit applicants without recent qualifications, a relevant HNC can lead to Year 2 entry, an HND or foundation degree can lead to a one-year top-up, and postgraduate courses normally ask for a bachelor's degree. The university makes the admission decision.

Can I study business while working?

Of the 118 programmes on this page, 64 list a blended or hybrid pattern, 36 list 1–2 days a week on campus and 18 list evening or weekend sessions, as described in the catalogue (a course can list more than one). The exact timetable is set by the university and confirmed before you apply; check each course page for its current study pattern.

What is the difference between a foundation year and a foundation degree?

A foundation year is an extra year at the start of a degree that prepares you for undergraduate study; it is not a qualification on its own. A foundation degree (FdA or FdSc) is a Level 5 qualification in the GOV.UK list, which can usually be topped up to a full honours degree with one more year.

What do Business and management graduates earn in the UK?

Department for Education data for tax year 2023-24 shows median earnings of £26,000 one year and £35,100 five years after graduation for Business and management first-degree graduates (UK-domiciled, English providers), against £26,000 and £33,300 for all subjects. These are medians for the whole subject, not a promise for any individual.

Can I get Student Finance for these courses?

Student Finance is a loan, not a grant, and you repay it only when your income is above the threshold of your repayment plan. Eligibility depends on the course, your residency status and any previous study; Student Finance England makes the decision. EduForYou's guidance is free, and you can start with the free eligibility check.
