A generalist business degree with preparatory study built in, the BA (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year is taught at the Greenwich campus in London, by the river at Creek Road. The foundation year is what separates it from the direct-entry business management course at the same college: it gives adults returning to education time to build study skills before Level 4. Full-time weekday study is listed. It is a good shortlist option if you want broad business knowledge rather than a finance or marketing specialism and prefer to study in south-east London. AF Education provides UK home students with free help on the application and Student Finance England.

About BA (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year (UGIC)
University of Greenwich International College records BA (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year as Active, full-time, weekday, at the Greenwich campus in London (Bounty House, Creek Road, SE8 3DE). Category: Business. Partner: OIEG.
The foundation year in the award title distinguishes this listing from the non-foundation BA (Hons) Business Management at the same college. It suits applicants who want a generalist business undergraduate path with preparatory study built in, including many mature learners returning to education. AF Education does not invent accounting modules, placement years, or fee tables here.
Greenwich riverside London is the sole site on this record. Compare it with UGIC finance-flavoured business foundation options and with the direct-entry Business Management sibling when you shortlist. An adviser can help with eligibility conversations and Student Finance England questions appropriate to foundation-year study — guidance only, never a funding guarantee.
Foundation-year applicants should prefer this ID over the non-foundation Business Management page when they know they need the preparatory stage named in the title; switch to course ID 223 if you and the provider agree you are ready for direct entry. Confirm intake timing before you gather documents.
