Oxford Business College
University Foundation Programme


The Foundation Course offered by Oxford Business College is an alternative route (instead of A-levels) to gaining a recognized entry qualification for university degree programmes. The course is offered over 3 terms (9 months) and incorporates an Advanced English/Business English programme.

Assessments and examinations are held at the end of each term at the College. The College tutors monitor the progress of the students and assist in the preparation of the university application form (UCAS).

Once students successfully completed the Foundation Programme, they can apply to join the vast majority of UK universities.

Over 50 different U.K. universities have made offers of a place to Oxford Business College students.

Students also have the option of staying at the college to complete a BA in Business Management (comprising a 1-year HNC/HND followed by a 9-month top-up degree).
