Bachelor in Finance Foundation

At Aston University, tuition fees are 23,200 GBP per year.

Based in the heart of Birmingham—the youngest major city in Europe—this foundation programme serves as a direct, supportive gateway into the triple-accredited Aston Business School. Rather than simply reviewing prior knowledge, the curriculum is designed to immerse you in the university experience from day one, delivered by the same academic staff who teach across full undergraduate degree programmes.

Developing the Professional Mindset

Success here is built on more than just grades; it requires a growth mindset. You will participate in a series of core modules that bridge the gap between secondary education and higher-level business inquiry. Beyond subject knowledge, you will engage with the university's signature 'Power Skills' framework, which weaves AI literacy, innovation, entrepreneurship, inclusive leadership, and environmental sustainability into your learning. Whether you are collaborating on group projects or refining your presentation skills, the programme is structured to build the confidence and professional toolkit necessary to excel in your subsequent BSc degree and future career.
