Who this course is for

This is a progression course from the Business Management - Certificate of Higher Education to Foundation Degree level. With the Foundation Degree in Business Management (Level 5) you're gaining a professionally accredited qualification that will allow you to compete for the best roles across a diverse range of industry sectors. To give you an even greater head start, the course has been co-created with employers and delivers 'hands-on' experience. A dynamic curriculum not only builds specialist leadership skills, but also develops an understanding of other key business disciplines to take your career to the next level. Business Management degrees provide the greatest variety of career routes in national and international organisations, both private and public, as well as in small and medium companies around the world. Some graduates also go on to start businesses themselves. Though the course is delivered in Blackpool, it's actually awarded by Lancaster University, providing graduates with a top university qualification. And as if that wasn't enough, the course also gives you an opportunity to gain a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) qualification in Leadership and Management. You will be taught by our friendly, professional teaching team, all of whom benefit from extensive management experience to support your future success.
