Course content

During each three-week session, you will take on intensive module. These modules will be worth 20 UK credits. In addition to your in-class sessions, most modules will incorporate field trips, offering you the chance to explore areas of London relevant to your studies.

You will live and learn on our beautiful parkland campus and have access to all the University's support services as well as a dedicated study abroad team.

This module aims to provide students with an introduction to different types of business organisations and the environments that they operate within. Using London's vibrant business ecosystem as our laboratory, the module will mainly focus on the factors affecting businesses that are located in advanced economies. The analysis and discussion will centre around issues that relate to industrial structure, international trade and technological change, with case studies drawn from London's financial district, tech sector, and creative industries (e.g., Canary Wharf, Silicon Roundabout, Shoreditch). Although factors affecting businesses in developing countries/emerging economies will be covered to a certain extent, there will be less of a focus on businesses operating in such environments. Similarly, economic, financial and technological influences on organisations will be emphasized, although political, social, cultural, legal and environmental factors will also be covered through an introduction to PESTLE analysis.
