SUMAS Foundation / Bridge Program
The pathway program to your bachelor's degree.
Program Overview
The SUMAS Foundation Year is a flexible, one-year pathway program that combines rigorous academic learning with hands-on experience in leadership, entrepreneurship and sustainability management. It bridges the gap between high school and a full bachelor's degree — giving you the academic confidence, practical skills and professional mindset to succeed from day one of your BBA studies. Designed for high school graduates, the program prepares students for direct entry into a SUMAS Bachelor's degree in sustainability management, fashion, hospitality or finance, combining theory with real business experience through entrepreneurial projects coached by university faculty.
