Places are subject to availability, language and degree programme. You are expected to adhere to any academic progression requirements in Stages 1 and 2 to proceed to the year abroad.

You may choose from a range of optional modules covering more niche areas relating to the course, including business law and employment rights, behavioural finance and consultancy skills and practice.
