The St. Andrew’s Business Foundation course is well known and respected by UK Universities.

For 15 years we’ve been helping international students gain places on business related courses.

Over the last 5 years, more than half of our Business Foundation students have gone on to top 30 UK universities and more than 25% to top 20 universities.

In recent years over 40 different universities have welcomed business students from St Andrew's including:

Warwick
Bristol
Durham
Bath
Edinburgh
Southampton
Aston
York

The course is designed to provide students with the factual knowledge, study skills and English language skills they’ll need to begin a Business related course at a British University.

The broad base of the course means that St. Andrew’s Business Foundation students are accepted on to a wide range of courses from Economics to Law to Business studies and Management and many others.

Classes are taught in small groups, with a maximum of 12 students per class and an average of only 9 over the last few years.

The Business department is led by Wayne Marshall (MBA), Administrative Principal of St. Andrew’s College.

"All of us, no matter what our background or future plans, rely on the ability of businesses to create and supply us with the goods and services we need. The course aims to give you a clear understanding of an important, fascinating and wide-ranging field.

You will be encouraged by your teachers to contribute actively to classroom discussions relating to a variety of business problems and implications

We try to teach as much of the course as possible by analysing case studies and building on that knowledge. You will look into the dilemmas and struggles faced by many firms and you will be expected to come up with your own opinions of what you would do if you were running a business yourself.

Not only does the foundation course help with the early stages of the subject at degree level, but it can provide useful background to any other professional discipline.”
