The BBA Business Administration (Including Foundation Year) program welcomes both Home and EU students. This pathway is ideal if your current qualifications don't meet the entry criteria for the standard three-year program, offering you the opportunity to strengthen both your subject knowledge and academic abilities.
This four-year program begins with a foundational Year Zero, followed by three additional years of study. Your initial year includes four subject-specific modules alongside mandatory English language and academic skills training, all conducted at our Colchester Campus. The subsequent three years of your degree will be completed at our Southend Campus.
From your first day, you'll join Essex University's vibrant global community, studying at the UK's most internationally diverse campus university.
Upon successfully completing Year Zero through our Essex Pathways Department, you'll advance to Essex Business School to finish your degree.
The BBA Business Administration offers a comprehensive business education, covering all key organizational functions. Through diverse subjects and practical management training, this program equips you with the skills needed for success across various business sectors.
We strongly recommend taking a paid placement year to gain valuable work experience, build professional networks, and apply your skills in real-world business environments.
