Cross-border business problems — globalisation, sustainability and intercultural communication — sit at the centre of the BSc (Hons) International Business Management with Foundation at Anglia Ruskin University in London. Case studies sit beside theory, and the timetable record includes daytime campus days plus a non-standard evening-and-Saturday pattern for people who work or care for others. UK students who need a preparatory undergraduate year take the integrated foundation stage first. September 2026 is currently shown as an upcoming intake. AF Education will help England-resident home students test Student Finance England eligibility before they apply. Map the timetable against your weekly commitments before you accept an offer.

Who this course is for
This route suits career changers targeting management in start-ups or larger organisations, and returners who need timetable flexibility around work. Choose it if you want an international business label with a foundation year rather than a single-market management award.
Entry routes for mature students
The integrated foundation year is the main entry route for applicants who need preparatory undergraduate study. AF Education will confirm Anglia Ruskin University in London’s current evidence requirements for your circumstances.
Funding with Student Finance England
AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply.

Course overview from Anglia Ruskin University
About BSc (Hons) International Business Management with Foundation
The BSc (Hons) International Business Management with Foundation at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU London) is a full-time bachelor's with an integrated foundation stage for UK students who need a preparatory year before the main international business degree. Study sits in the Business category with weekday, weekend, and evening delivery options referenced on the course record, including standard daytime campus study and a non-standard evening-plus-Saturday pattern.
Existing copy emphasises globalisation, sustainability, and intercultural communication through real-world case studies and a strong theoretical backbone. That blend suits career changers targeting management pathways in start-ups or larger organisations, returners who want timetable flexibility around work or caring responsibilities, and applicants who prefer a foundation-inclusive route over direct Year 1 entry.
Compared with the sibling BSc International Business Management without foundation, this page is specifically the with-foundation pathway. We avoid inventing fees, UCAS points, or placement rates; confirm current ARU London entry and funding rules for your circumstances.
AF Education presents this as a UK home-student funded pathway where eligibility applies. Speak with an adviser if you need help choosing between foundation and direct-entry international business at ARU London and mapping a timetable that fits your weekly commitments. Compare related listings carefully so you apply to the award level, study mode, and timetable that match your prior learning and weekly commitments as a UK applicant.
