Course Overview
About FdA in Business Management
The FdA in Business Management with Newcastle Group (Newcastle College) is a full-time foundation degree for UK students seeking a Level 5 business award with weekday and weekend delivery options. Existing course notes emphasise industry-linked learning — including masterclasses, work experience, and guest talks with organisations named in prior copy — alongside leadership, management, retail, finance, marketing, law, and project-management themes.
Campus notes on the record reference weekend class availability in London, Birmingham, and Leicester, which can suit applicants who need Saturday or weekend contact rather than a purely weekday pattern. That flexibility may appeal to career changers already in work, mature learners balancing study with employment, and applicants who want a foundation degree rather than an immediate full bachelor's commitment.
We keep claims careful: named industry partners and guest-talk opportunities depend on availability and are not guaranteed placements. We invent neither fees, automatic progression into named degrees, nor employment rates on this page.
For UK home students considering funded HE, AF Education can help you compare this FdA with CertHE and bachelor's business options, discuss Student Finance England eligibility where it may apply, and clarify which campus and timetable fit your situation before you apply. 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.
FdA in Business Management at Newcastle Group is eligible for Student Finance England funding: a tuition fee loan of up to £9,535 per year paid directly to the university, plus a maintenance loan of up to £13,762 per year for your living costs. There is no upper age limit — mature students apply through exactly the same process. Repayments only start once you earn over £25,000 a year.
