Business study that begins with an integrated foundation year runs at Canary Wharf as the BA (Hons) Business Management with Foundation Year. Notes highlight diversity in the student community, practical teaching and the chance to map where core business skills could lead. Full-time weekday classes are listed, and the intake shown is February 2027. Qualification entry is a UK Level 3 award with 60 credits or five GCSEs at C/4 including maths and English; the over-21 APEL path asks for three years of relevant experience.
