The lecturers and leaders of this department are business experts and industry professionals, supporting students to become the next generation of great leaders to the absolute best of their ability. They do not simply deliver the curriculum, but add context and nuance through their own experiences, helping students to better grasp how the material applies to their own future career.

The entry requirements for all of the postgraduate qualifications can be found on the Regent College London website. These requirements should not be taken as a hard rule, and students are actively encouraged to speak to the college’s admissions team if they do not meet the requirements but have a passion for studying their chosen subject.

Some courses will allow for workplace experience to count towards requirements in lieu of the necessary qualifications, giving those who have left education a chance to return and further their knowledge and improve their career prospects.

There may be specific subject requirements for some of the courses, and if students don’t meet those then they may be able to look at alternative foundation qualifications to set them up for postgraduate study in future.

All the courses at Regent College London are taught in English. International students may need to provide evidence of an English language qualification to apply.

Regent College London offers postgraduate courses in three fundamental areas – the School of Business and Law, the School of Engineering and Computing, and the School of Health, Sports Science and Psychology. With this narrowed focus, students can be sure of a high-class qualification due to the enhanced development of the curriculum.
