At UCLan FoundationCampus our international diploma programme is closely linked to the Lancashire Business School's year one degree; in terms of content, assessment methods and fully qualified and experienced teachers.
We work closely with the Business School staff to ensure that our students have a seamless transition to year two of their degree so that our students have the best possible start on their degree programme.
Our students have full access to the University facilities and are taught on campus in University teaching rooms so they are already used to the university environment. Today, they met the second of three course leaders to help with preparing our students for year two of their degree,
The course leader for BA (Hons) Business Administration (Giles McClelland) spoke to our students who wish to progress onto his degree programme. He informed the students, in detail, about the options available on the degree, what steps they need to take when progressing onto the degree course and what they can expect from year two and three of the study. Giles related the session to the specific interests of the students and explained how the course is useful for Masters degree study, such as a Masters in Business Administration (an MBA, which is considered the industry standard management qualification - which can also be studied at UCLan). He also explained how students are made ready for employment and how students could specialise to gain a named degree in Accounting, Marketing or Entrepreneurship, amongst others.
Once the students have their results Giles and the diploma course leader (Graham Garforth) will meet with the students to ensure they are choosing the best modules based on their interests, career and study ambitions and results on a one to one basis before they start their degree course.
