The Foundation in Business and Management offers a level of academic preparation comparable to studying the first year of a Scottish undergraduate degree programme. It also ensures you meet the minimum English language requirements for second-year university study. Successful completion of the programme offers assured progression to a number of specialist degrees within Caledonian Business School.
Caledonian Business School (CBS)
Caledonian Business School is the largest Business School in Scotland and fourth largest in the UK. The School has close relationships with industry in the UK and abroad, and a traditionally strong graduate employment record. Several of its degrees feature industry placements ranging from three months to a year, while other degree pathways provide more informal opportunities to gain work experience, often during vacation time. CBS programmes also enable students to gain partial exemption from the professional examinations of a number of relevant professional bodies.
