Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study the foundations of business and management, moving from core principles to specialised options. A course like this typically begins with how organisations work, marketing fundamentals and business economics. In the second stage, you'll usually progress to operations and supply chain management, organisational behaviour and strategy. Towards the end, you'll choose specialisations such as entrepreneurship, international business, digital business, consulting, marketing, or people and HR, and complete a capstone project or consultancy brief with a real client. Throughout, you'll develop both strategic thinking and practical business skills.
Who it's for
This course suits students already holding another higher-education qualification; 60% of recent entrants came in with prior higher-education study. Part-time study makes it accessible to those balancing work or other commitments.

International students
What applying to University of Wales Trinity Saint David from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by University of Wales Trinity Saint David; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Wales Trinity Saint David’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Wales Trinity Saint David and gov.uk before you apply.
