Overview of the Undergraduate Programme

14

Regent’s College is an associated institution of the Open University. Undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the European Business School London are validated by the Open University. EBS London is recognised by the British Accreditation Council and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. Extract from the recent BAC inspection: The European Business School London was first accredited by the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education in 1995. It was most recently re-inspected in 2006. The School was considered to offer an excellent level of provision in all of the areas assessed during the inspection. There was an excellent integration of the academic programmes with the development of the awareness, skills and experience required by students for entry to their chosen careers, which was further supported by the guidance and advice provided by the Careers and Internships Services Centre. The level of pastoral and academic support provided by the School, and more generally with Regent’s College, was outstanding, as was the School’s clear commitment to continuous review of its provision in the light of student comment and the changing international context of business. The School’s staff were

notable for their wide range of academic and professional qualifications and experience. Academic resources, both within the School and within Regent’s College, were comprehensive. The European Business School London was awarded continuing accreditation in April 2006. EBS London is a member of the following: European Foundation for Management Development UK Association of Business Schools British American Chamber of Commerce American Chamber of Commerce London Chamber of Commerce Spanish Chamber of Commerce French Chamber of Commerce Standing Conference of Heads of Modern Languages (SCHML) University Council of Modern Languages (UCML) European Language Council (ELC) European Council of International Schools (ECIS) NAFSA – Association of International Educators European Association for International Education (EAIE) Placements in Industry (PlaceNet)

Emily Barnick, Mexico Emily Barnick is from Mexico and took French and German at EBS London. Before studying at EBS London, she was already fluent in three languages. “When I arrived at EBS London, I didn’t know anyone at the school”, states Emily. “However, because of the small-sized campus, it is easy to fit in, and the students and staff are very friendly and helpful. One of the best things about EBS London is the language teaching. I felt very wellprepared for my study periods abroad.”

Andreea Petrisor, Romania “For me EBS London was the point of no return. I got more than I ever expected in terms of academic knowledge, experience, friends and, most of all, life. The school is great because all the theory learned is also applied in different real and current case studies. This helps develop a lot of skills which are crucial in the business world, such as working in a team, the ability to make a good presentation or to work under pressure. The environment helps me practise my language skills because in every corner of this school I can hear different languages. Also, as part of this course I get to spend one semester in Buenos Aires and one in Paris, something I’ve never

Ignacio Ortiz de Zevallos, Peru Ignacio is from Lima, Peru, and is currently in his final semester of study at EBS London. As part of his BA (Hons) International Business degree course, he undertook two semesters of Study Abroad at our partner university in Paris. “The multicultural environment and the strong emphasis on languages at EBS London allows students to make the most out of international business.” Ignacio decided to study at EBS London after hearing about the school from friends and family in Peru, and was the winner of the Scholarship competition in 2003.

Serene Abbas, Lebanon Serene is from Beirut, Lebanon, and is currently in her final year of study at EBS London. She completed two semesters of study abroad in Madrid, Spain as part of her BA (Hons) International Business degree studies last year. “I loved Madrid, I had such a rich experience and my year abroad just flew by. When I arrived in Spain I knew the basics of the language and struggled a bit in my first few classes, and now it feels amazing to be completely fluent. My time in Spain was fantastic and I gained so much from my studies there.” Serene studied at the American University of Beirut before joining EBS London and plans to work in fashion marketing upon graduation.

tion within a range of learning experiences.

EBS London offers innovative option modules not usually found on a traditional business degree programme. Within its multi-cultural practical framework, LCP encourages creativity and innovation with a range of learning experiences. The LCP Experience (a combination of Leadership and Management, Creative Management, Psychology and Dramatic Arts modules) exists to link business theory to managerial practice. Leadership and Management is a final year core module, whereas Creative Management (final year course), as well as Psychology and Dramatic Arts (first year course), are both option modules. Psychology and Dramatic Arts students are led (‘directed’) by LCP final year students to encourage a ‘reward system’ which enhances personal growth processes. Each year LCP students set up Short Film Competitions, Dramatic Plays, Fashion Shows, Arts Exhibitions and Music Concerts, in partnership – and in competition – with dramatists, publishers, filmmakers, musicians, actors, fashion designers and

broadcasters. LCP strives to establish higher management quality through the development of its advanced creative products. Working together with cinemas, theatres, galleries, production studios and TV channels, LCP short films have been shown in London, Berlin and Cannes. LCP’s major objective is to unite different styles within a defined framework and to provide a platform for young talented artists to exhibit. For example, twice a year arts exhibitions at the Zizi Gallery in Mayfair, London, present sculptures, paintings, photography or computer-based graphical projects involving improvisational transformation of business-related information. Working together with internal as well as external artists, LCP encourages awareness of emerging talents. LCP fosters a self-directed, autonomous learning approach where students are fully responsible for progress made. For further information about the work of LCP, please contact LCP Module Leader, Birgit Wildt: [email protected]

The face is the human species' basic common language - universally understood and instantaneously recognised. I want high visibility with maximum exposure for my images, and aim to achieve this literally ' diffusive ' effect through a set of postcards, posters, and booklets which can easily be mailed, stuck on a wall, or flicked through on a lounge table. Each drawing has a hatching technique typical of etching, but is in fact simply executed using basic ink pens. This allows anybody who has ever held a pen to directly identify with the chosen medium and the artist's ' etat d'esprit ' at that moment (Artist: Dorian Hirsch, EBSL Final Year Student – Exhibition at the ZiZi Gallery – Mayfair, 2005/2006).

The Language of Business All undergraduate students at EBS London study languages as a compulsory part of the BA (Hons) International Business degree programme. You can study one or two languages, including one as a complete

The Language of Business

beginner if you wish, choosing from Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.

“There is no longer any doubt that in a globalised economy the successful pursuit of business requires multilingual and multicultural knowledge and expertise. So, whatever job you seek, having a thorough knowledge of a foreign language in its business context will provide you with a remarkable competitive edge and will prove to be an excellent professional asset. At EBS London we are proud of the wide range of languages we offer.” Josef Müller, Co-ordinator for Languages Chinese is the largest official language in the world. China’s economy has been growing at about 10% per year for nearly thirty years. Moreover, the joining of the WTO in 2000 has highlighted China as a key growth area for international trade and partnership development, making it the fourth largest exporting and the third largest importing nation. Spanish is the world’s second largest international language, with more than 400 million speakers in more than 20 countries (including over 40 million in the US). With sustained growth rates of over 3% annually, Spain is one of the fastest growing economies in the Eurozone. The countries of Latin America are currently competing successfully in many industries in the world market. The existence of regional trade agreements such as NAFTA (TLCAN) and MERCOSUR, together with the region’s optimistic stance towards globalisation,

evidences the importance of this large trade area. Furthermore, the Hispanic community with its growing success in many areas of business - is the largest and fastest growing minority in the USA, making Spanish the second language in the USA. French is one of the official languages of the European Union and Canada. It is also one of the leading languages in Europe and other continents with 113 million Francophones worldwide. In many countries of the Middle East, the Far East and Africa, the French language still enjoys a privileged position in administration, commerce and business due to old cultural ties with France and the existence of a large French-speaking population in these states. On an international level, after English, French is the most commonly taught second language in the world today. With over 100 million speakers, more people speak German as their native language than any other language in Europe. Not only the residents of Germany speak German, it is also an official language of Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. In addition to that, around 20 million people are learning German as a foreign language worldwide. Germany was the world’s largest exporting nation in 2003-2005, ahead of the USA, and is the number one trade partner of many economies, including Italy, France and Russia. Two-thirds of the world's leading international trade fairs take place in Germany, so there is no doubt that knowing German creates business opportunities.

Japanese is the native tongue of the world’s second-largest economy and increasingly widely spoken as a second language around the Pacific Rim. The Nikkei trades a larger volume of stocks than any other exchange in the world each day, and many of the world’s top business organisations are Japanese. Portuguese, with over 200 million native speakers in the world, is the sixth most spoken language and the third most spoken European language (after English and Spanish) in the world. It is the official language of 7 countries and a major lingua franca in Africa. Culturally and commercially, the place of Portuguese in the world is undeniably relevant due to Brazil’s growing economic presence. With Brazil’s lead role in the Southern Latin American Common Market and Portugal’s membership in the European Union since 1986, Portuguese is today widely taught both in Europe and South America. Russia is beginning to realise its enormous business potential (with the largest oil and gas reserves of any country in the world) and many important multinational companies have bases in Moscow or in other cities. Russian is understood across Eastern Europe and is widely used in the central Asian republics such as Uzbekistan and Khazakstan.

Born in the western corner of Austria that borders on Germany and Switzerland, Philipp Lehner developed an awareness of multiculturalism from his early days. After finishing school, and having completed his military service in Austria, he went to spend time in South America, first a few months in Buenos Aires, then backpacking through what he calls “the continent of passion and enormously rich nature”. He returned to Europe a year later and started his degree in International Business at the European Business School in London, attracted by the course offer, the range of languages, and the location. “As foreign languages I took Spanish, to maintain my freshly acquired language skills, and also Chinese, to throw myself at the next challenge.” He is going to spend his Study Period Abroad for two semesters in Nanjing, China. So far he has already completed work placements with ‘Credit Suisse’, ‘RS Consulting’ and ‘Alpla’, all in the UK, and ‘Wipro New Logic’ in Austria. When being asked to state three adjectives representing his personality, he says “energetic, respectful to the individual and hungry for knowledge on the academic, as well as the life experience side”. Looking into the future, he sees himself successfully applying his international life experiences and practical knowledge of business itself, acquired through internships and studies, to his own business. Philipp Lehner from Austria, Level 2 Student

The Language of Business

Italian means business, as well as culture. With its roots in Rome and the Latin world, the Italian language and culture offers a unique combination of art and technology. Italy offers golden business opportunities. Having started the privatisation process only recently, compared to its European counterparts, very profitable markets for banks and financial institutions are being opened up. Key industries are varied and diverse, and include fashion, design, the automotive industry, and of course food and catering.

Building Your Major

As with all degree courses, there are certain elements of the programme which all students must study and complete. These are known as ‘core modules’. Students may then select ‘elective modules’ that will build towards a major, or select open choices for those wishing to take a broad range of subjects without specialising in a certain area. At every stage of option selection you will have the opportunity to discuss your module and major choices with a personal tutor. The seven majors offered on the EBS London undergraduate programme are: Economics Finance Law Entrepreneurial Management Human Resource Management Management (general) Marketing

Students can personalise the programme with over 300 degree pathways. For all the latest course information go to www.ebslondon.ac.uk or contact the External Relations Office on +44 (0)20 7487 7505

If you do take the second semester of the Business Foundation Course, you must achieve more than 40% in all assessments to be considered for progression to a degree programme. All the rules and regulations for the Business Foundation Course are outlined in the EBS London Foundation Programme Student Handbook.

How to Apply for the Business Foundation Course If you wish to enrol on our Foundation Course, you should apply directly to EBS London by contacting Admissions.

Other Languages

Other Applications

From the eight languages offered at EBS London (see page 8) you cannot study your native language, and our programme does not allow students to take more than one language at beginner level. English is the language of instruction, not a language option.

We welcome applications from transfer of credit, international exchange, Erasmus/Socrates and study abroad students. Please contact the Admissions Office for further details on how to apply.

Language Testing On Registration Day, if you are a non ab initio (not a beginner) language student you will be required to take a diagnostic test in your chosen language. The results of this test will determine which language class you will be placed in. EBS London reserves the right to make changes to your degree choice based on the result of this test. The Admissions Office will require originals or certified documents of all qualifications on registration day. All non-English documents must be accompanied by a certified/notarised English translation.

International exchange students, including those on the Erasmus scheme, must have completed at least the second year of their undergraduate course before studying at EBS London. The final application dates to complete a study period abroad at EBS London are 15 November for the Spring semester and 15 May for the Autumn semester.

Transfer of Credits

(Continued)

If you have already participated in degree-level education, you may be able to transfer some of your credits towards a course at EBS London. This recognition of Advanced Prior Learning (APL) may make it possible for you to begin your studies at a more advanced level within the programme. Recognition of APL is at the discretion of EBS London.

Applicants who have documentation missing, or those who have not yet taken school leaving examinations, will receive a conditional offer. If you wish to accept our offer, you must: Confirm your acceptance in writing Pay the Registration Fee of £350 Non EU - advance tuition fee deposit £700

Any applicant being considered for APL will be required to have equivalent qualifications from another university that meet the Learning Outcomes of the BAIB Programme. A key criterion for the acceptance of APL qualifications will be the similarity of the Learning Outcomes between the two programmes, such that the exemptions are matched specifically to particular modules within the BAIB programme. To apply for transfer of credit, you must provide detailed descriptions (certified translations where necessary) of any courses taken, and transcripts of relevant grades. Transfer of credit will only be assessed before entry.

Making an Offer

Note: If you accept an unconditional offer and fail, for any reason, to take up your place, you will forfeit your registration fee. If you accept a conditional offer and fail to meet the academic conditions of this offer, you will forfeit £200 of the registration fee. If you are refused a visa for the UK, then you will receive a full refund. Failure to take up a conditional offer on any other grounds will forfeit the entire registration fee. Both offer and acceptance of a place at EBS London are subject to the rules and regulations relating to EBS London and its courses. These rules and regulations are set out in the student handbook, a copy of which is available from the Admissions Office.

Once we have assessed your application, the Admissions Officer will write to you to inform you of our decision. UCAS applicants will also receive official notification via the UCAS system.

The EBS London International Business Scholarship The EBS London International Business Scholarship is an outstanding prize which covers all tuition fees

The Language of Business

for the three and a half year BA (Hons) International Business degree course, and is worth over £40,000.

The two half-scholarships cover half the tuition fees for the three and a half year BA (Hons) International Business course. These special prizes have been established to celebrate the international spirit of EBS London. The panel of judges from EBS London will be looking for a creative and research-based approach to your work. The winning entry should be interesting and thought-provoking, and should not exceed eight double-spaced pages in length. To enter the competition for the EBSL International Business Scholarship 2008-2009, please answer one of the following questions: 1. The wealthy and successful retailer, Sir Philip Green, gave the following advice on a career in business (The Independent, July 2007): a. Stick to what you know b. Plug in (to information and general knowledge) c. Get a feel for trends d. Take risks e. Don’t think about what you can’t do f. Say ‘come and see me’ g. Work hard h. Even tycoons need R & R (rest & relaxation) Comment on this advice and, following appropriate research, make any other suggestions you consider to be applicable to success in business and management. 2. Many EBS London graduates start their own businesses immediately after graduation – a few have set them up while they are still studying! Your task is to produce a business

proposal for any new venture, indicating clearly how the new business venture will be funded and how it will attract customers. 3. One of the most difficult areas of corporate conduct relates to the lines where the norms of ethical behaviour are crossed. For example, what is the dividing line between using the company photocopier to make copies of personal documents and defrauding an international company of millions of dollars through devious accounting procedures? Discuss this proposition in relation to ethics in international business, citing recent and relevant examples and giving your own views on ethical conduct in business. 4. The motto of the Chartered Institute of Linguists is “Universal Understanding.” The Institute seeks to promote the view that one of the prime keys to understanding other peoples and cultures is knowledge and ability in the appropriate language. Discuss the meaning of the motto, invent any other appropriate mottos, and explain why you think that language learning is essential for greater universal understanding. In researching and writing your essay, you can discuss your own experience of other peoples and their cultures, of languages, and of language learning. 5. In the last few years, there has been a renaissance of “economic patriotism” within world trade. Certain countries in particular have sought to protect their own industries. Give relevant examples of “economic patriotism” and discuss the theoretical context and practical effects of this on the conduct of world trade.

For all the latest course information go to www.ebslondon.ac.uk or contact the External Relations Office on +44 (0)20 7487 7505

Any research work you do, such as contacting firms or the business community in general, will be rewarded in the assessment process. You should reference your work appropriately and provide a full bibliography, listing the relevant sources. The winning entry will be interesting and thought-provoking, and will not exceed eight double-spaced pages in length. Your entry and supporting documents will be used to determine the short-list. The competition is open to all applicants to the BA (Hons) International Business degree programme who will commence their studies in either September 2008, or February 2009. Please note that you must already hold an offer with EBS London in order to participate.

Winner, EBSL International Business Scholarship 2007-2008

“I chose EBSL because the education I receive here truly equips me with the necessary skills to launch into the international business world. It was the scholarship application process that convinced me and gave me the confidence that I made the right decision. Writing my project was a pleasure because it brought me on two journeys - one through the wide fields of Asian and European business, and the other to EBS London where I got amazing ideas and perspectives from other application essays.” Amber Hercules, Trinidad and Tobago Half-Scholarship Winner 2007-2008

“It's my desire to be a business catalyst - someone who suggests strategies which take business to a greater level of success. EBSL is the place to learn about these strategies and to develop the critical thinking that leads to such an inventive decision-making approach. On the scholarship presentations day the interaction between the presenters was fantastic. We came from very diverse countries and had done different essays. The panel was warm and receptive, and it was a wonderful and unique challenge.” Maximilian Georgallides, UK Half-Scholarship Winner 2007-2008

“I found the Scholarship process extremely rewarding. Writing a business plan for a ‘Brasserie Parissiene’ gave me the perfect opportunity to bring together knowledge and skills that I have acquired from my experience within the hospitality industry. I enjoyed the challenge that was set before me and I found it exciting to present my business plan to the judges. I was overwhelmed to have been awarded the half-scholarship, and I was especially delighted by the enthusiasm shown towards my project.”

The EBS London International Lecture & Jean Monnet Memorial Lectures

Each Spring and Autumn, EBS London hosts European and International Lectures for its collective stakeholders. They provide an opportunity to hear prominent global business people and public figures from a broad spectrum of backgrounds speak on issues of current and future importance to world business and the economy. Whether a panel discussion or individual speaker, each lecture enables the audience to participate through a question and answer platform and the opportunity to network with fellow guests during the post - lecture drinks reception. The reputation of the EBS London lectures, attended by about 400 invited guests including Ambassadors and senior business executives from leading international companies and government agencies, has built a strong diplomatic, business and political network for the school. The Lecture series additionally provides an opportunity for the business community to meet EBS London students and alumni, offering them a first hand introduction to the Global Managers of the future. The Jean Monnet Memorial series began following the European Council’s naming of 1988 as ‘Jean Monnet Year’. An important figure supporting the cause for a united Europe, Monnet’s life spanned the most pivotal historical events influencing post-war Europe. He became the first president of the High Authority of ECSC but left in 1955 to head an action committee for a united Europe. Made

an ‘honorary citizen’ of Europe in 1976, he died in 1979. Jean Monnet’s motto was:

"keep going, keep going, there is no future for the people of Europe except in union." Sir Leon Brittan, then EC Commissioner, gave the first Jean Monnet Lecture at EBS London on 3 March 1989 on "The Future of an Open Europe". He returned as Vice President of the EU to give the 10th Jean Monnet lecture in 1998 on "The EU: preparing for the 21st Century".

Recent Jean Monnet Memorial Lecture speakers include “The Process of Economic, Monetary & Financial Integration in Europe” Mr Jean-Claude Trichet, President, European Central Bank Mr Andrew Bailey, Executive Director, Bank of England Mr Jonathan Taylor (Moderator), DirectorGeneral, LIBA Mr Derek Scott, former Economic Adviser to PM Tony Blair Mr Wolfgang Munchau, Associate Editor, FT Brussels

After Your Degree - Preparing for Your Career

You will complete your degree as a person with the added value of self-awareness. Your grasp of business principles will be sound, and your practical experience will have empowered you to be both capable and confident. You will be eminently employable.

Firstly, you will have the EBS London name on your degree certificate. As many of our previous graduates have found, it is a name held in very high regard by top organisations around the world. It is a name that ‘shouts’ business and linguistic abilities.

You should ask yourself:

Secondly, you will have the international network of EBS London graduates. Some recruit directly and others give help and advice to current undergraduates. Many more are simply spreading the School’s reputation for excellence, paving the way for you and other new graduates to follow them into top jobs in leading business organisations.

Who am I? What are my ambitions? What kind of career do I want to have? What kind of organisation do I want to work for? Do I want to start my own business venture? What unique mix of knowledge, skills and abilities will I bring to that organisation? What are my strengths, values and motivation? As you determine the direction of your future career, our Careers Guidance and Internship Services will offer you help, guidance and coaching for success, as defined by you, – for you. Once you have worked out your chosen career path, the next task is to sell yourself effectively. You will have three distinct advantages.

“

Thirdly, you will have the expert and experienced assistance of our Careers Guidance and Internship Services. The great strength of our international team is that by the time you are ready to graduate, they will know you very well. They will have discussed your career plans with you in your first and second years, and helped you identify suitable organisations for your 36 weeks of internships. They will have listened to your feedback – and that of your host organisation – and helped you refine your choices and take appropriate next steps for your career development. You will have an individual work experience and career objective programme which will build up steadily from the day you join EBS London to the day you graduate.

“University careers and internship services are traditionally separate – one providing information for final year students, while the other secures work placements as part of a degree programme. Some university careers services offer an information library and careers counselling. Others offer workshops on CV writing and interview techniques. Few, however, bring all of these activities together in one focused and co-ordinated service, helping you to market yourself proactively to employers. EBS London’s CGIS have recently opened a new international resource centre with international staff, thus further improving the quality of the service.” Simon Hamm - Head of EBS London Careers Guidance and Internship Services Simon Hamm is a member of the UK Institute of Careers Guidance and the Strategic Planning Society.
