Entry Requirements

The Business & Management Foundation Year (BMFY) is a foundation year programme, not a certificate qualification: one year of preparatory study that is the prerequisite for streaming into second-year studies in the undergraduate programmes of the School of Business and Public Policy. Applicants must have successfully completed Grade 12 from a recognised institution and meet the following minimum requirements:

  • A grade of C or better in Language & Literature or Applied English (one subject).
  • An A in General Mathematics or a C in Advanced Mathematics (either satisfies the requirement).
  • A grade of C or better in three (3) subjects chosen from Accounting, Economics, Business Studies, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or History.

Minimum GPA: 3.20, calculated across the subjects listed above (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0; subjects not taken are excluded from the calculation). Note that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission — places are limited and competition is strong.
