Course summary

Think you’d make a great global leader in business? This is where your story starts as you study in London and abroad.

The international business landscape is changing faster than ever before. You can become the expert firms, governments, and international institutions desperately need to analyse markets and economies and assess trends and developments.

Joining us, you’ll learn to apply the theory to real case studies and make reasoned judgments based on economic analysis. At the same time, we’ll help you use leading software and techniques for business and economic analysis.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have the skills you need to analyse complex business issues, as well as experience of a different cultural setting. It’s up to you to decide what’s next. Will you be a consultant with global clients? A manager motivating international teams? Or a data scientist converting streams of big data into business intelligence?

Advanced tools and Data Analytics: Our program demystifies the complexities of data, offering you hands-on experience with the industry’s leading software and analytical methods.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).

The minimum academic requirement is to achieve 60 credits overall, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 30 credits must be at Distinction and 15 credits at Merit or higher. Applications are considered on a case by case basis. Due to the high volume of applications, we do not make offers of study purely on the basis of meeting grade requirements.
