Business with a Foundation Year for Elite Athletes enables entry into any of our Business courses for students that are classed as elite athletes by our performance sport centre and have not got the qualifications required for direct entry.Completing a foundation year will enable you to progress onto the main Business degree programmes, provided the relevant progression criteria are met.Our foundation course is taught in-house by University staff including specialist Foundation teaching staff. As a student on the course you will be a full member of the University, with the same access to the Students’ Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments.You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, labs and tutorials. During the year you will undertake modules in Sociology, Psychology, Finance and Marketing and a choice of Applicable Maths or Statistics and Modelling with either Economics or Sports Science.Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to your overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation pathway have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into University life.The Foundation Studies course also offers the opportunity for students performing at a very high standard in their chosen sport, who wish to study at Loughborough, but do not have the required qualifications due to sporting commitments. It is ideal for students who wish to combine their performance sports training with academic study.
