Course Description

Warwick Business School (WBS) is in the top one per cent of business schools globally. It was the first in the UK to receive triple accreditation from the world’s three major management education bodies – AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS. These organisations conduct regular, rigorous evaluations of our standards and our strategy from an international perspective and continue to find us top-rated. We attract students with talent and ambition: the leaders of tomorrow. Our student body encompasses over 150 nationalities and with over 29,000 graduates we also have an active and supportive network of alumni for you to tap into immediately. Join us as an undergraduate and they’ll be there for you throughout your career. We are respected and popular with employers. Some of our students undertake work placements as part of their degree, or take advantage of our excellent in-house networking opportunities to help pave the way for employment on graduation. At Warwick there are great opportunities to extend your learning and give you valuable experience, including entering international student competitions, exploring a business project as part of your studies, completing an internship, and joining many entrepreneurial and business-related student societies. Whichever degree course you choose to study, you will leave WBS extremely well prepared for a career in a competitive business environment. All of our courses have an international perspective; in your first year, foundation modules will introduce concepts and skills taken from a wide range of cross-cultural examples. Later years involve studying a number of modules including Global Environment of Business and Global Integrative Project, as well as other internationally-oriented modules in your chosen topics. WBS is a pioneer at the forefront of exciting new developments, for example the creation of the UK’s first Behavioural Science group, which focuses on the interaction between the natural science and social science approaches to understanding behaviour.

More than half of our graduates hold finance-related positions – not surprising when around 45 per cent of our students are studying Accounting and Finance. Others are working in general or project management, marketing, advertising, media, communication and management consultancy, or are pursuing careers in social work, public administration, education or the arts. A significant proportion of our graduates go on to achieve top positions as Directors or CEOs and a growing number launch their own businesses. Over 18 per cent of our graduates go on to further study, many of them staying on with us to build on their experience here at WBS.
