Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study economics and management foundations in Year 1, covering how organisations work, marketing principles, and business economics with data skills. Year 2 deepens this with operations and supply chain management, organisational behaviour and human resources, and strategy. In Year 3, you'll choose specialist options such as entrepreneurship, international business, digital business, consulting, marketing, or people and HR, typically culminating in an innovation project or capstone consultancy brief that draws together your learning. A course like this normally moves from core business disciplines to strategic thinking and your chosen specialism, often including live or real-world projects.
Who it's for
This course suits graduates seeking careers in business, management or economics. You'll develop analytical and strategic thinking applicable to private enterprise, public sector organisations and not-for-profit work. It's designed for those interested in understanding how organisations function and how economic principles shape business decisions.

International students
What applying to University of London from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by University of London; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of London’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of London and gov.uk before you apply.
