Overview

The APIIT Sri Lanka Business Foundation programme is an APIIT Sri Lanka award approved by Staffordshire University, UK as an entry qualification for the Staffordshire University Business degree programmes offered at APIIT. It is designed to inculcate study skills and practices based on sound educational methods, while instilling responsibility for studies in all students. The programme introduces students to the field of Business while developing numerate, digitial literacy, and communication skills.

The Business Foundation programme prepares students with GCE O/L qualifications who do not wish to puruse GCE A/L studies or those with inadequate GCE A/L qualifications to enter the Staffordshire University Business degree programmes.

The overall rationale of the programme is to prepare students to pursue and complete satisfactorily the degree studies leading to the awards in Business.
