"summary": "This course is for UK students only. International students should apply for the International Foundation Year.\n\nThis extended four-year course allows you to study for a degree in one of the following:\n\n\n- accounting and finance\n\n\n- banking and finance\n\n\n- business management with marketing\n\n\n- business management and the human resource\n\n\n- economics\n\n\n- international business\n\n\n- international business and finance\n\n\n- international business and marketing\n\n\n- management.\n\n\nThe first year of the course is primarily taught by expert academics from the Lifelong Learning Centre (home to the University’s specialist teaching and support for mature, part-time and foundation year students) but could also involve modules delivered by Leeds University Business School (LUBS) depending on your choice of pathway. As a foundation year student you'll be part of the University from day one with all the experiences and opportunities that this offers. The second year of the course involves modules delivered by the both the Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) and LUBS.\n\nDuring the first two years, you’ll gain an understanding of the key aspects of business studies, covering subjects such as innovation and enterprise, organisational environment, marketing and organisational behaviour, as well as specialist modules depending on your choice of pathway. The first two years will provide you with intensive and well-structured support to help you develop your skills and knowledge.\n\nOn successful completion of the first two years, subject to meeting the specific requirements for progression, you'll advance onto your chosen degree course at Leeds University Business School.\n\nThis course is for UK students from a widening participation background (who meet our additional entry criteria) who don’t currently meet the typical entry requirements for direct entry to a degree. This course does not accept students with previous higher education experience, including other foundation years or international students.\n\n**Additional highlights**\nThe first year of the course has been specifically designed such that academic, digital and professional skills are developed through a set of three compulsory modules. During the first year, these transferable skills can be acquired and then refined with the help of module tutors and dedicated skills tutors to give you the very best chance of success both on the course and beyond.\n\n**Specialist facilities and support**\nThe Lifelong Learning Centre provides a supportive environment to enable you to progress to degree-level study.\n\nAt Leeds University Business School, you’ll have access to specialist facilities including state-of-the-art lecture theatres, collaborative learning and teaching spaces with the latest interactive technology and modern study spaces with dedicated computer clusters.\n\nAs a Foundation Year student, you’ll have access to dedicated study and social spaces that are designed to be welcoming and accessible. The areas in Beech Grove House and the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building (pictured below) offer computer access, reference books and the space to socialise and work with your peers.",
