Start a business career without traditional qualifications

SubjectsBy the Omega Partners Admissions teamReviewed October 20262 min read

Think you need A-Levels or years of experience to start a business degree? Think again.

At Omega Partners, we help adults in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Nottingham start a university business degree, even if you don’t have traditional qualifications.

Why study business?

Business degrees open doors to careers in:

  • Management
  • Marketing
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Finance
  • Human resources

But if you don’t have A-Levels, applying can feel impossible. That’s where foundation year degrees come in.

What is a foundation year in business?

A foundation year is a preparatory year that helps you build essential skills:

  • Business basics
  • Communication
  • Academic writing
  • Study skills

After the foundation year, you continue into the full degree with no need to reapply.

Who is this for?

  • Adults with little or no formal qualifications
  • People with some work experience or none at all
  • Those balancing work and study

How Omega Partners helps

We provide:

  • Free application support (no UCAS)
  • Help with your personal statement
  • Student Finance guidance
  • Flexible course options, including part-time and evening study
