2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Economics and Philosophy

Start your academic journey with a Foundation Certificate in Business and Law at Kaplan International College London. Prepare for a degree at the University of York!

Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Economics and Philosophy Explore the ethical implications of financial decisions and train the mind as students question the fundamental principles that underpin society. Economic forces affect every aspect of human lives, from the price of coffee to the structures of government. Study these pressures under the guidance of world-class researchers and analyse the philosophical implications of economic theory. Who bears the burden of financial stability? Can great wealth ever be ethical? Is it permissible to weigh the poverty of some against the greater happiness of the whole? Students will learn with a diverse and international student body and with opportunities to study abroad they can develop a truly global perspective. The active Club of Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP) encourages debate beyond the classroom. The skills students will develop in thinking across boundaries and engaging critically with a range of material are highly valued by employers.
