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

Start your journey with a Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences in London. Progress to a BA in Economics & Politics at 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 Politics Debate the principles that govern a prosperous society and hone analytical skills against pressing political crises. From tax on tea to the global distribution of wealth, everything economic is also political. By studying these subjects together students will gain a broader appreciation for the intersections of wealth and power, poverty and political unrest. They'll be challenged by world-class academics to critically assess both fundamental political structures and economic theories and to analyse what happens where these meet. 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, and employers value the skills students will develop in thinking across boundaries and engaging critically with a range of material.
