What you'll study

In your first year, you’ll gain a strong foundation in business fundamentals before choosing your major, giving you the freedom to explore your interests and shape your own path. Guided by a project learning approach, the programme prepares you to become a global business professional ready to make a real impact.

Introducing you to the core ideas of psychology, financial literacy, and accounting, and show you how they connect in real-world business problem solving. You’ll work in teams on a global business challenge that combines understanding social behaviour, making investment decisions, and applying accounting principles.
You’ll learn how to identify and record business transactions, complete the accounting cycle, and prepare and analyse financial statements. Explore how psychological and financial concepts influence business decision-making. Throughout, you’ll reflect on your personal strengths, develop teamwork and communication skills, and build the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities needed to succeed as a future business manager.

Explore the fundamentals of business data analysis and the foundations of business computing, learning how to collect, organise, analyse, and interpret data to support real decision-making. You’ll build practical digital skills with tools like Excel, Power BI, and introductory analytics software, while also developing an understanding of how information systems, software, databases, networks, cloud computing, AI tools, and other digital systems support organisations. By the end, you’ll have both the technical confidence to work with data and a solid grasp of how modern business technologies operate, preparing you for further study and future professional practice.

You’ll look at how business law and ethics shape the way organisations operate, focusing on the rules, principles, and ideas behind areas like contracts, employment law, corporate law, and intellectual property. You’ll learn how businesses uphold integrity, fairness, and accountability, and explore topics such as legal foundations, strategic legal thinking, the role of the constitution, the European and American judicial systems, and how disputes are resolved through litigation or alternative methods. You’ll work with real cases from the recommended textbook and dive into additional topics that support your success in business, including how to build an ethical career. By the end, you’ll be able to apply legal and ethical thinking confidently, communicate your ideas clearly, and understand the broader implications of decisions, risks, and responsible leadership.

You’ll explore how economies work on both a large and small scale. On the macro side, you’ll look at the big-picture forces, like national income, inflation, unemployment, government policy, and international trade, that shape the economic outcomes we all experience. You’ll learn how economists measure these issues and why they matter. On the micro side, you’ll examine how consumers and firms make decisions when their choices are limited by scarcity, from everyday spending to how businesses set prices while considering competitors. You’ll apply these ideas through a problem-based approach, working with your peers on projects that mirror real business and economic challenges. As you analyse transactions and develop practical solutions, you’ll build your teamwork, critical thinking, communication, and decision-making skills, giving you a solid foundation in both macroeconomic and microeconomic principles.

All modules are subject to change and availability. If a module changes after you have been made an offer, you’ll be notified before you start your course.

Build the core skills needed to tackle unstructured business problems and make decisions in a clear, systematic way. You’ll learn how to brainstorm, iterate, and use analytical tools like spreadsheets and visualisation software to bring order to unclear tasks or projects. You’ll also develop strong communication habits, applying key principles to share your findings effectively and work consistently with your team. Through a problem-based approach and hands-on workshops, you’ll work on small research projects that mirror real business challenges, creating practical solutions such as a product, system, or process. As you collaborate, you’ll sharpen your teamwork, critical thinking, analytical, and presentation skills, helping you understand the kinds of problems businesses face and how to solve them with clear, confident communication.

Examine how business systems and leadership practices work together to shape an organisation’s performance and competitiveness. You’ll explore how systems like ERP, CRM, and supply chain platforms are designed, implemented, and evaluated, while also studying the leadership styles and management approaches that influence culture and outcomes. You’ll connect these ideas with themes from international business and marketing to understand how organisations operate across borders, respond to cultural differences, and use data to track and improve performance. Through case studies, you’ll analyse both successful and unsuccessful examples of systems and leadership in action. You’ll also examine the role of ethics, sustainability, and inclusivity, focusing on responsible leadership and the wider impacts of business systems. By the end, you’ll be able to assess both the technical and human sides of organisational effectiveness and suggest improvements that support ethical and sustainable practice.

You’ll get an introduction to management accounting and learn how to use accounting information to make clear, effective managerial decisions. You’ll explore cost behaviour, budgeting, responsibility accounting, cost control, and product costing, with a focus on understanding key concepts and interpreting information rather than just calculating it. You’ll also develop your financial decision-making skills by working with real-world concepts such as financial statements, cash flows, the time value of money, risk and return, and the valuation of bonds, stocks, and other assets. This is a hands-on, problem-solving-focused experience that will help you think critically about the financial challenges managers face. Through a problem-based learning approach and collaborative projects, you’ll apply what you learn to practical business tasks while strengthening your teamwork, communication, and analytical skills. By the end, you’ll have a solid foundation in both management accounting and finance, and a clearer understanding of the financial problems businesses must navigate.

You’ll look at tools like AI, blockchain, cloud computing, big data analytics, IoT, and automation, and see how they’re reshaping business models, processes, and customer experiences. You’ll also consider the opportunities and risks that come with technological innovation, including cybersecurity challenges and the ethical, sustainable, and inclusive use of technology. Through case studies, practical activities, and applied projects, you’ll learn to assess the potential of these technologies, make informed recommendations, and understand their wider impact on society and the environment.

Understand how organisations design, manage, and improve their operations so they can meet strategic goals and run efficiently. You’ll see how operations management supports productivity, customer satisfaction, and long-term success, and how it connects with areas like finance, marketing, and HR. You’ll cover key topics such as operations strategy, forecasting, sales and operations planning, capacity and resource management, inventory control, MRP, lean and JIT systems, outsourcing, and supply chain planning. You’ll also look at global operations, sustainability challenges, and the ethical issues that come with operational decisions. Through case studies and simulation activities, you’ll work with real operations scenarios and apply tools for forecasting, planning, and inventory management. By the end, you’ll be able to assess operational practices, spot opportunities for improvement, and make recommendations that balance efficiency with ethical and sustainable business practice.

All modules are subject to change and availability. If a module changes after you have been made an offer, you’ll be notified before you start your course.

You’ll take on an individual research project that lets you dive deeply into a business and management topic of your choice, developing your subject knowledge, project management skills, critical thinking, and your ability to communicate clearly and ethically. You’ll approach your work like a general manager or business owner, exploring how organisations create long-term value by delivering goods and services customers are willing to buy at prices that cover their costs. You’ll analyse current and future business environments to understand opportunities and threats, examine how different institutional settings and ethical values shape decision-making, and consider how organisations build sustainable competitive advantage. You’ll also look at how managers work with key stakeholders, from customers and employees to investors and government bodies across different countries. Most of your learning will be independent and self-directed, supported by a supervisor and the module leader, and your project will develop both specialist and transferable skills while staying relevant to your programme and the wider industry.

Leadership is the art of motivating and influencing a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. You’ll explore what it means to be an effective leader in a business setting, learning how to motivate and guide teams, colleagues, and stakeholders toward achieving common goals. You’ll examine how leaders set direction, build vision, foster collaboration and loyalty, and make informed decisions while managing risks and opportunities. The focus is on developing practical leadership skills, including communication, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making. Through self-assessment, readings, assignments, presentations, and class discussions, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of both the art and science of leadership and how it applies in real-world organisational settings.

You’ll explore the role of logistics in managing supply chains, from the first mile to the final delivery to customers. You’ll learn how logistics managers use cost and process analysis, operations research, and operations management to meet customer needs efficiently and effectively. The focus will be on designing and operating distribution networks, managing facilities and shipping routes, and controlling inventories under different conditions, while keeping costs and customer satisfaction in mind. You’ll also use Excel and its statistical tools to solve practical logistics problems and understand the impact of logistics decisions on overall business performance. Through case studies, hands-on activities, and industry examples, you’ll develop the skills to manage supply chain logistics efficiently, make ethical decisions, and communicate solutions clearly in real-world business contexts.

Understand how organisations manage the procurement of goods and services strategically to improve their competitive position. You’ll learn the principles and practices of purchasing and supply management, including procedures, policies, supplier selection and evaluation, make-or-buy decisions, pricing, global sourcing, and socially responsible supply management. You’ll also look at emerging topics such as cybersecurity in the supply chain, supply chain financing, and network mapping. Through case studies and practical examples, you’ll develop the skills to coordinate procurement across functions and supply chain partners, make ethical and strategic sourcing decisions, and communicate solutions effectively. By the end, you’ll be able to apply critical thinking and leadership to procurement processes while considering their broader ethical, societal, and professional impacts.

Understand how to manage and lead operations and supply chains in today’s fast-paced business environment. You’ll build on previous knowledge to understand how operations management (OM) and supply chain management (SCM) work together to achieve organizational goals efficiently and cost-effectively. You’ll learn how to plan, design, operate, and improve processes that produce goods and deliver services, while integrating key business processes across the supply chain. Using real-world examples from companies like Amazon and Procter & Gamble, you’ll see how effective operations and supply chain management create competitive advantage. Key topics include process improvement, performance measurement, linking OM with marketing and finance, inventory management, service operations, waiting line management, SCM, and total quality management (TQM). Through practical projects, case studies, and industry collaborations, you’ll develop the skills to optimize resources, integrate processes, make ethical decisions, and communicate solutions effectively.

Learn how to manage and lead projects in today’s complex business environment, gaining the skills to handle initiatives of all sizes from small, ad-hoc projects to large, multi-firm global efforts. You’ll cover key project management concepts such as scoping, scheduling, resource allocation, budgeting, team organization, project chartering, and agile approaches. The focus is on practical, hands-on application, including analysing failed projects, working through case studies, and collaborating with industry examples. You’ll also develop ethical decision-making and leadership skills, understanding how to deploy resources efficiently and manage projects responsibly. By the end, you’ll be able to plan, execute, and communicate projects effectively, while considering their wider professional, societal, and ethical implications.

At the end of year three, through ASU London’s partnership with Arizona State University, you can progress to a master’s degree in the US with a number of specialisations, completing both and undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in just four years.
