    Course Summary

    Plymouth Marjon University’s BSc in Business is unique in that it incorporates an integral foundation year, making it accessible to nearly anyone, even those who never thought they would qualify for a BSc degree. Not only will you study finance, accounting, marketing and human resource management, you’ll develop your business skills in the real world.

    This program also includes Chartered Management Institute membership for all graduates, as well as a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management from that organisation.

    The foundation year will serve several purposes. First it will give you an introduction to studying and taking tests at a university level, and get you used to life at Marjon. It will also introduce basic business theory and practical content, providing your first tastes of hands on business experience. It is perfect for those with experience but no degree awards, or for those who are returning to education after a long absence.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
