    Program Outline

    2. How you learn

    All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

    The course is suitable if you don't meet the entry requirements for our BA (Hons) Business Studies course, or you want extra preparation before starting degree-level study. You share the first year with other Sheffield Business School foundation year students, then move on to the degree.

    The course content is delivered using a variety of teaching techniques. You are assessed using a mixture of innovative coursework tasks and exams.

    You learn through

  • traditional academic-led lectures
  • case-study based workshops
  • assimilation to create an experimental environment of learning

    • In the foundation year, you'll study wider business topics, while specialising in your chosen subject area. You'll learn useful skills such as academic writing, work in diverse teams and learn to utilise a wide variety of data sources. In doing so, you'll fully prepare yourself for undergraduate study.
