The Foundation in Business (FIB) programme will provide students with a general understanding of business organisations and their structures along with wider considerations such as environments, markets and processes and how all these work together to contribute to organisational success. The foundation programme will enable students to analyse how businesses are organised, strategies are developed, decisions are taken, and how these factors impact competitiveness in business and commerce.
The Foundation in Business is also a unique foundation programme that combines programmes in Business and Management with IT, English and Social Studies to give students a solid foundation in the Business Studies while at the same time, opening their minds to other related and relevant knowledge. Such exposure to a wider spectrum of academic material will provide students an integrated learning experience of how each and every one of these related disciplines impinges upon the business environment.
The programme is taught over a period of 3 full semesters.
Students’ ability is gauged both through continuous assessments and a final semester examination. The continuous assessment component comprisesof tests/quizzes, mid-term examination and projects/assignments, which accounts for an allocation of about 40-50 marks depending on the course. The balance of the marks is allocated for the final examination.
