Finance plays a fundamental role in every organisation, whether it’s an international business or a brand new start-up. This course will help you to prepare for a career in the competitive financial and business sectors – developing your skills and giving you the confidence to manage teams globally.

You'll gain a solid understanding of how financial markets and instruments operate and how investment decisions are taken in challenging and complex environments – as well as the skills needed to manage wealth effectively and make major corporate financial and acquisition decisions.



You'll study different financial markets and institutions; start to feel confident in using financial skills (such as mergers and acquisitions); and learn how to formulate strategies, interpret information, adapt to market strength and maximise returns. You'll develop rational, emotional and social intelligence, enabling you to think strategically when taking key financial decisions by estimating risk and acting ethically.

Working with live data from the Refinitiv Eikon platform, and other specialist databases on campus, you'll also develop the entrepreneurial and research skills that are highly prized by global employers and venture capital investors. Plus, in your final year, you'll have the chance to join an immersive five-week financial trading experience.

Year 1

Subject Core

Business and Finance, BA (Hons)
Organisational Culture and Reputation Organisational reputation is significantly driven by the organisation’s culture and capability to take care of their key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, industry and financial analysts, and current and potential employees. A good reputation will strengthen a brand and lead to greater stakeholder trust, customer loyalty and employee retention.

This module will help you to understand the key characteristics, the types of management and the intertwined nature of organisational culture and reputation. The module will cover concepts and theories of organisational and consumer behaviour, from employee motivation and retention to customer engagement and satisfaction.

This module will also focus on the importance of reputation and how it can enhance a brand and its marketing strategy. It will consider the roles of various stakeholders and the importance of corporate social responsibilities (CSR) to improve an organisation’s reputation.
Money, Finance and Decisions In this module, you will discover both theory and practical application of business techniques to come to successful and informed decisions. You will be exposed to approaches that satisfy professional standards, enabling you to learn how to use these tools to accomplish business goals. The professional analytical skills and techniques will support you in making better business decisions and presentations.

This module will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make effective use of key budgeting, financial reporting, mathematical and statistical techniques applicable to business, finance and management. You will develop the ability and confidence to use numerical and problem-solving techniques and take advantage of information technology tools in the context of business and finance to enhance your future employability.
Markets and Legal Frameworks This module develops your understanding of the legal implications and economic reasoning that underpins entrepreneurial and business activity.

You will explore the relationship between business environments, markets and law and, in doing so, discover key aspects that inform business transactions.

You will learn to understand how competitive consumer markets operate within the context of economics. By exploring the decision-making process and its impact on profits, you will develop an appreciation of how to gauge the macroeconomic performance of a country as well as how a legal system can impact on economic performance.

This module also covers legal principles informing business transactions, commercial entities and consumer rights, the characteristics of a common law legal system and the contractual relationship.
Financial Markets Instruments and Institutions In today’s business environment, financial markets, institutions and instruments play an essential role in providing investors (corporate, government or individual) with vehicles for raising and investing funds. This module focuses on financial market structures and operations in the UK, EU, US and across the globe.

You’ll discover the purpose, principles and fundamental concepts of today’s financial markets, instruments and institutions – both conceptually and numerically. This comprises banking and non-banking institutions, securities markets, foreign exchange markets, bond markets and derivatives products. The examination of these institutions is situated within the context of globalisation and international trade in which corporates and governments operate. Of particular focus will be the financial industry, and the role technology and global markets play together.

This module will support you in developing your social and intercultural intelligence by handling international monetary and financial problems. The module will also guide you in how to use financial services when investing and creating business opportunities, locally or internationally.
Learning Perspectives This module will develop your curiosity around your chosen degree specialism and encourages you to become a collaborative, critical and reflective learner. You will explore different approaches and key debates around learning and develop skills essential for university study.   

Learning from key thinkers across cultures and time, you will examine core questions about how and why we learn the way we do. You will gain understanding through the distinct lens of your subject and by comparison and sharing of ideas with students from all degree areas.    

To evidence your learning journey, you will create responses to key questions on the areas of the module you find most relevant and inspiring. The skills, knowledge and approaches to learning you develop in this module will support your Regent’s journey and assist you in becoming an active part of your university community.  
Exploring Industry and Entrepreneurship The world of work is changing fast; in some sectors, AR, AI and automation have already mechanised the work environment. New and different jobs are rapidly being created, generating fresh industry-related and entrepreneurial opportunities. Global crises have accelerated trends, causing many sectors to rethink their approaches to work.

This module provides you with an introduction to the changes being experienced, and the scope of real-world professional activities in relation to your course. Teaching will be delivered by your course team, led by subject experts, and tailored to reflect industry and entrepreneurship in your discipline.

You will develop an understanding of how changing local and global trends impact the current and future worlds of work. The focus will be on exploring your industry or sector and its future, with a view to informing your own potential career or entrepreneurial journey.

In this module, you will be supported by the experts in the Careers, Enterprise and Industry services and the university careers platform, Handshake.

Common Modules

In Year 1, you can choose a mix of London Perspectives, Global Perspectives and language modules – you'll need to take two in total from the lists below.
London Perspectives (Autumn Term) In the London Perspectives module, you will explore London through multiple perspectives including your own cultural background and degree discipline. Taking the city as a learning ground, you will learn about London with a historical and contemporary focus through your degree subject (for example business, arts, fashion and media) and interact with the cultures of London through their symbols and neighbourhoods to investigate their impact on London over time. Using teasers inspired by the city of London (for example, a 'Brick Lane' extract, a segment of a visual product, a music extract), you will consider what makes London a world city. You will go on field trips and visit relevant venues in mixed-group activities where you act as guides to your cultures and/or subject, thereby fostering collaborative learning. The module uses London to explore what may unite, rather than divide, our areas of study. Topics and trips include multicultural London, Roman London, financial London and London of fashion and music. ——— You can also choose a language module instead. Choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Business English – all languages are offered from beginner to advanced level.
Global Perspectives (Spring Term) For Language modules, please refer to the list on the course page below. Through this module’s challenges you will complete a number of practical group tasks inspired by contemporary intercultural, political and social issues, and by the concept of global citizenship. You will work with peers to propose and present solutions to dilemmas and global issues. In the first half of the term, groups will be divided based on disciplines and courses of study; in the second half, you will re-group with students from other disciplines. Throughout the collaboration, you will be asked to reflect individually, and to evaluate the benefits and limitations of specific disciplinary approaches versus the potential for creative solutions when working with students across disciplines. ——— You can also choose a language module instead. Choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Business English – all languages are offered from beginner to advanced level.
Language Modules
Languages (Grades 1-6) – available Autumn and Spring Choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish – all languages are offered from beginner to advanced level in every term.

At Regent’s, you will learn languages differently. You will learn in a highly practical way, in order to develop skills for authentic communication. At Regent’s, you will receive individual attention in a supportive atmosphere and learn through collaboration and innovative teaching methodologies.  

  

Whether you want to start learning a new language, develop existing proficiency or prepare yourself to study abroad, these modules will help you develop a multilingual identity.   
Advanced Language for Professionals (Grade 7)  – available Autumn or Spring If you want to work in international or multilingual environments and you already have a higher intermediate level of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian or Spanish, this module is for you.  

You will learn to apply your existing language skills to the workplace and acquire the practical and linguistic tools to connect, collaborate and communicate effectively in multicultural professional settings.  

Learning in small groups, you will gain knowledge of the countries where the language is spoken and of their work practices and will apply that knowledge to tasks that resemble those in the workplace. You will also develop job-specific linguistic and cross-cultural skills and explore contemporary forms of communication at professional levels. 

Immersed in a unique classroom environment that embodies Regent’s cosmopolitan character, you will experience individual attention in a supportive atmosphere, learn through innovative teaching methodologies and develop your multilingual professional identity. 

Business English: Professional Writing – available Autumn or Spring Every professional journey will benefit from enhanced writing skills allowing you to express yourself and persuade others.  Classes provide opportunities to create written texts (such as work emails, letters, proposals and reports) while developing understanding of writing as a process and how to adapt writing for diverse audiences and purposes. At the same time, you will also consider the impact of choices around tone, style, formality and other key language aspects.  

This module offers a memorable experience of professional writing, harnessing technology use (such as digital word lists, text analysers) and formative feedback, all within a supportive classroom atmosphere.  

As a result, you will be ready to apply what you learn to tasks on this module in your university course or career. You may only take this module once.
Business English/Advanced Business English  – available Autumn or Spring For every prospective 21st century professional, higher-level business English skills are indispensable.

Year 2

Subject Core

Business and Finance
Sustainable Operations In resource-based businesses, strategic advantage is often underpinned by strong business operations and supply chains, which enable us to leverage information and technology to competitively manage customer service, costs and cash to maximise value.

Sustainable operations today relates to the responsible management of all people, resources and processes (including their indirect impacts) that create, supply and renew the services and products of an organisation or function.

This module emphasises the core theme of sustainability, which addresses the economic, social, and environmental aspects of operations over time as well as the role of advancing systems technology. As such, the module will empower you to examine and apply heuristics and systems thinking to the strategic development of the operations of a business you choose. It will equip you with the skills to practically progress operations through analysis and reflection of information that supports socially, environmentally and economically sustainable decisions.
Empirical Finance and Analytics In this module, you’ll use mathematical and numerical tools to understand real life business data. Applied quantitative approaches will enable you to analyse and solve complex financial and investment management problems, assess risk positions and estimate forecasted returns.

You’ll begin by discussing different types of measurements that are helpful in dealing with business and financial data in spreadsheets. You'll then learn how to summarise data and examine various data distributions – applying statistical models that are fundamental in explaining muti-variable relationships.

You’ll be exposed to practical financial applications of descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequencies, measures of central tendency, graphs and charts, statistical tests, correlation and regression – enabling you to use and apply relevant methods to empirically test research hypotheses through various regression methods of analysis, including how to draw practical conclusion from statistical and econometrics results to make decision in the field of financial investments.
Investments and Wealth Management This module will equip you with the numerical and analytical techniques and financial models for investment analysis – used in global wealth management by private and institutional investors.

You’ll acquire the skill set required to understand high-net-worth clients’ needs and the various factors to be considered while advising them.

This is a module particularly suited to those who are interested in finance, investment, private banking and wealth management, either for further study or for a professional career.

You will have the freedom to choose between a range of entrepreneurial challenges and explore enterprise opportunities. In doing so, you will develop your own concepts and create an entrepreneurial plan. In collaboration with others, you will develop your entrepreneurial ideas through creative thinking, research and evaluation.

At the end of the module, you will pitch your idea, bringing your concepts closer to an exciting reality. If you have true ambitions to become a founder, the module will also prepare you to complete an individual entrepreneurial project in your final year.
Placement This placement module gives you the opportunity to experience industry and entrepreneurship in an external organisation. Through an immersive piece of work, either within or outside of your discipline, you will apply your knowledge and intellectual and practical skills to real life challenges to develop a critical appreciation of how an organisation operates and evolves.

These insights, skills and knowledge will not only prepare you for your next level of study, but they will also help you to build the attributes required to realise your future ambitions after graduation.
Industry Challenge In this module, you will experience the challenge and pace of the world of work through a real world or live project, chosen from a menu of industry scenarios. This will give you an insight into the culture, practices and commercial contexts of an industry, field or sector within which the project is situated.

The focus of this immersive experience will be on process, as you engage in team building, collaboration and project management, researching and testing concepts and presenting your concepts to address the industry challenge.

The module will support your personal and professional development so that, when you move into the final year of your course, you will be equipped to complete a significant individual project of your choice.

Year 3

Subject Core

Business and Finance
Disruptive Strategies and Models In an increasingly connected and turbulent world, it is essential for organisations to be able to respond to change strategically.

Strategy is about helping organisations understand what is going on both outside and inside the organisation, where they want to be in the future and how they get there. Organisations evolve business models that optimise the needs of current customers, balancing resources and capabilities with market demands. However, this can overlook the impact of potential new technologies and approaches. Today, disruptive technologies (for example blockchain and nanotechnology) are fundamentally challenging the business models within many industries.

In this module, you will explore how organisations can harness technologies to disrupt and create new business models. You’ll develop the confidence to think strategically, distil the frenzy and identify new and profitable opportunities. It will expose you to the latest strategic approaches so you can think more creatively, innovate and adapt by considering how businesses can create, capture value and disrupt.
Corporate Finance, Mergers and Acquisitions In this module, you’ll start to understand what long term investments a firm should undertake (capital budgeting decision); learn how to research the main drivers of value and the common valuation methods; discover how to raise cash for investments (debt vs equity); investigate what the optimal dividend policy is; and explore IPOs and how its processes work.

You’ll also begin to understand mergers and acquisitions (M&A) – a worldwide phenomenon that calls for policy decisions at the highest level. It’s one of the areas that brings together the insight of many different fields like corporate finance, economics, accounting, regulation and management. In this module, you’ll learn how they work in practice and the skills needed to apply theories to real world corporate problems.
Major Project l The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project.

The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules.

In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project.
Major Project II Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll.

The Major Project is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. Through the Major Project, you can realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations.

You will learn through individual or group supervisions, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to the work you’re completing on your other final year modules.

If you are working on an entrepreneurial project for your Major Project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events.
