About this course

Business and finance together address two of the most central concerns of any organisation: how it is managed and how it is funded. Business study encompasses strategy, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour and international business, providing the broad management knowledge that allows people to understand and contribute to how organisations function. Finance examines the principles and practice of financial decision-making, including how capital is raised and allocated, how financial markets work, how risk is managed and how investments are evaluated.

Together they equip you with both the managerial understanding and the financial literacy that senior roles in commerce, industry and public life require.

At Regent's University London this four-year programme begins with a business foundation that builds the academic and commercial grounding you need before the degree proper begins, making it accessible to students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. Regent's is an international institution in the heart of London, and the programme reflects that context, with a strong emphasis on international business, cross-cultural management and the global dimensions of finance and commerce. The programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study in a different national business environment and to develop the international perspective that is increasingly essential for careers in a connected global economy.

London itself provides an extraordinary context for business and finance study, with direct access to one of the world's great financial centres.

Graduates go on to work in financial services, investment banking, corporate finance, management consulting, commercial and retail management, entrepreneurship and the public sector. Many pursue professional qualifications in accounting, finance or management after graduation, and some continue to postgraduate study in business administration, finance or related fields. The foundation-to-degree structure and the year abroad make this a flexible and internationally oriented programme.
