BA (Hons) International Business and BA (Hons) International
Events Management with Integrated Business Foundation Course
What is the Integrated Business Foundation Course?
The Integrated Business Foundation has been designed to provide
you with a sound basis for progression to the undergraduate
programmes at EBS London. You can expect to participate in
all types of learning experience, from lectures to highly practical
group exercises. Every situation aims to develop some business
skill: creativity, entrepreneurship, leadership, communication,
organisation; and to increase your capacity for learning.
Is the Integrated Foundation Course for you?
If your present qualifications do not allow you to be admitted
directly onto our BA (Hons) degrees, or
you simply want to feel more confident about studying business with
languages, you can enrol on our BA (Hons) with Integrated
Business Foundation Courses.
Course Duration & BA Degree Programmes
The BA (Hons) with Integrated Business Foundation Course is a
1 + 3.5 year programme, divided into 1 year*
of Foundation studies and 3.5 years of BA studies. Successful
Foundation students are guaranteed progression to the BA (Hons) degree courses at EBS London.**
* Fast-Track
We offer a fast-track route within the
Integrated Business Foundation, which allows you to
complete the Course in just one semester. In
addition to achieving a 60% average in all first semester modules,
you must demonstrate an IELTS proficiency level of 6.5 (tested
internally). Upon meeting these requirements, you may progress
onto the BA
(Hons) degrees without taking the second semester of the
course.
** Students must achieve 60% in the second
semester in order to be considered for progression to the degree
programme.

Course Aims
The Integrated Business Foundation Course aims to prepare you
for entry into Higher Education, ensuring you possess the necessary
knowledge, values, skills and competencies to undertake either the

We place great emphasis on encouraging students to reflect on
their learning, and to be increasingly self-motivated and
self-critical, with assignments and examinations becoming
progressively more challenging and demanding throughout the
course.

compulsory and optional business and language

place during each semester.
You will study a total of 15 modules over two
semesters* (ten in semester one, and five in semester
