Essential preparation for university.
You will join small tutorial groups where you will receive individual attention and assistance to achieve your aims. The tutorials are specifically designed to give you a comprehensive, all-round understanding of recognised global business practices.
Through the academic lectures and modules, you are encouraged to develop critical thinking and engage in active discussion; to present logical argument, effective business plans, and to demonstrate entrepreneurial skills.
By the end of the Bridging Programme you will have acquired the individual and teamworking skills you need to progress to a Master's degree course, or to operate in the UK business environment - this will be of particular importance for students who wish to enter a company internship.
