The BSc (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year at the University of Roehampton is built for UK-based mature students and career changers who need a funded undergraduate route that fits around work. Teaching uses a hybrid model: evening and weekend classes, extra online sessions, and one full in-person teaching day every two weeks so you have space for projects and reflection. Learning is case-based, so you practise tackling real business problems and presenting ideas with impact — useful if you already work in a team and want a recognised degree. The foundation year supports applicants without traditional A-levels, and the brochure notes that mature and non-traditional education backgrounds are welcome. An upcoming intake currently listed is September 2026, with study at the Greenwich campus in London. AF Education helps eligible England-resident home students with the application and Student Finance England steps at no charge.

Who this course is for
This route suits adults already in work, returning to education, or changing into general business, operations or junior management roles who need evening, weekend and hybrid study rather than a full five-day campus week. It is listed for UK-based students only. If you want a foundation year before the main degree stages, this title is designed for that pathway.
Entry routes for mature students
The foundation year is intended for mature and non-traditional applicants who may not hold A-levels. Exact evidence still varies — AF Education will confirm what Roehampton needs for your circumstances before you apply.
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.
