Why this course matches you.

Your BSc in Statistics (CGPA 3.6/4.0) exceeds University of Westbridge's 2:1 requirement, and your Python and SQL project work maps directly to the programming prerequisite. Your IELTS 7.0 clears the bar comfortably. The one gap: no formal machine-learning coursework β€” this programme assumes none, which is exactly why it ranks above similar courses for you. Applicants with your profile received offers here in 84% of cases last cycle.

Scores are estimates based on published requirements and historical outcomes β€” never a guarantee.

Course Overview

The Foundation Year in Accounting, Finance and Economics is designed for students who do not yet meet the entry requirements for direct degree-level study or who are returning to education and require additional support to build confidence. This one-year foundation course serves as an entry route to a full three-year degree in accounting, finance, or economics. Students will develop essential transferable skills in communication, problem-solving, and accounting, taught by the same expert staff who lead the undergraduate degree programmes. The curriculum includes modules on business foundations, academic research, data literacy, and a practical accounting project. Upon successful completion of this foundation year, students progress directly onto their chosen three-year degree. This course is available on a full-time basis at the Hendon campus. It provides a supportive environment for students to master the fundamental concepts required for success in higher education and their future professional careers.
