Course summary
Why study a business and law foundation year?
Whether you're interested in business, law, finance, or marketing - gain new skills, build confidence, and develop your capabilities before moving on to your undergraduate degree.
Course overview
Designed by experienced academics whove worked across key roles in a wide variety of industries, the Business and Law Foundation Year will help you develop a strong foundation of business knowledge alongside academic and transferable skills to ensure you get the most out of your degree-level studies. It also provides a direct entry point to one of our business-related or law-related undergraduate degree programmes.
Whether youre interested in the private, public, charity, social enterprise, entrepreneurial industries, or legal practice, this foundation year is your gateway to developing the skills for your first management job, to set up your own business, or to pursue a career in law.
From core subjects such as business, law, finance, marketing, enterprise, personal development, and projects in the community, youll gain a solid introduction to the foundations of business and law, study contemporary business challenges, identify future trends and focus on the areas and industries which matter to you.
And throughout the foundation and subsequent full Solent degree, youll do more than learn the theory – youll learn to apply it through an innovative range of assessment and ‘real-world live briefs. Our degrees offer the chance to engage and get hands-on experience of international business and legal challenges and contexts, as well as a variety of extra qualifications, exemptions, and memberships in addition to your honours degree.
Who this course is for
Solents Business and Law Foundation Year is ideally suited if you want to build your academic knowledge and confidence to return to studying or progress in your studies. Youll develop strong academic and organisational skills and prepare yourself for successful careers in a range of business industries – studying a curriculum that is not just about theory but also real-world application.
Our foundation years are designed to offer a broad range of academic skills alongside a taste of the wider industry before you start your chosen specialist undergraduate degree. Some degrees also include a year in industry, meaning you can gain valuable first-hand work experience with a year-long full-time work placement between the second and third years of your degree.
