Year 1

Subject Core

Business and Psychology
Psychological Enquiry What is psychological science? How do psychologists ask questions and draw conclusions? Why do we need methods and paradigms, and how have these changed over time? This module will introduce you to creative enquiry in psychology, from experimentation and statistical analyses, through to qualitative, participatory, practice-based, and arts-based methods. A particular emphasis will be placed on diversity and inclusive research methods that view participants as co-researchers, and privilege service-users’ perspectives as experts by experience, such as action research and cooperative enquiry. You'll learn about quantitative and qualitative analytic and digital techniques and use these tools to practice asking diverse questions, exploring the data collected and considering possible conclusions and their relevance to contemporary world.
Organisational Culture and Reputation Organisational reputation is significantly driven by the organisation’s culture and capability to take care of their key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, industry and financial analysts, and current and potential employees. A good reputation will strengthen a brand and lead to greater stakeholder trust, customer loyalty and employee retention. This module will help you to understand the key characteristics, the types of management and the intertwined nature of organisational culture and reputation. You'll cover concepts and theories of organisational and consumer behaviour (from employee motivation and retention to customer engagement and satisfaction) and explore the importance of reputation and how it can enhance a brand and its marketing strategy. You'll also consider the roles of stakeholders and the importance of corporate social responsibilities (CSR) to improve an organisation’s reputation.
Money, Finance and Decisions In this module, you'll discover theory and practical application of business techniques to come to successful and informed decisions. You'll be exposed to approaches that satisfy professional standards, enabling you to learn how to use these tools to accomplish business goals. The professional analytical skills and techniques will support you in making better business decisions and presentations. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to make effective use of budgeting, financial reporting, mathematical and statistical techniques applicable to business, finance and management, and develop the confidence to use numerical problem-solving techniques and take advantage of information technology tools to enhance your future employability. 
Markets and Legal Frameworks This module develops your understanding of the legal implications and economic reasoning that underpins entrepreneurial business activity. You'll explore the relationship between business environments, markets and law – and, in doing so, discover key aspects that inform business transactions. You'll learn to understand how competitive consumer markets operate within the context of economics and develop an appreciation of how to gauge the macroeconomic performance of a country as well as how a legal system can impact on economic performance – exploring the decision-making process and its impact on profits. This module also covers legal principles informing business transactions, commercial entities and consumer rights, the characteristics of a common law legal system and the contractual relationship.

Common Modules

In Year 1, you can choose a mix of London Perspectives, Global Perspectives and language modules – you'll need to take two in total from the lists below.
London Perspectives (Autumn Term) In the London Perspectives module, you will explore London through multiple perspectives including your own cultural background and degree discipline. Taking the city as a learning ground, you will learn about London with a historical and contemporary focus through your degree subject (for example business, arts, fashion and media) and interact with the cultures of London through their symbols and neighbourhoods to investigate their impact on London over time. Using teasers inspired by the city of London (for example, a 'Brick Lane' extract, a segment of a visual product, a music extract), you will consider what makes London a world city. You will go on field trips and visit relevant venues in mixed-group activities where you act as guides to your cultures and/or subject, thereby fostering collaborative learning. The module uses London to explore what may unite, rather than divide, our areas of study. Topics and trips include multicultural London, Roman London, financial London and London of fashion and music. ——— You can also choose a language module instead. Choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Business English – all languages are offered from beginner to advanced level.
Global Perspectives (Spring Term) For Language modules, please refer to the list on the course page below. Through this module’s challenges you will complete a number of practical group tasks inspired by contemporary intercultural, political and social issues, and by the concept of global citizenship. You will work with peers to propose and present solutions to dilemmas and global issues. In the first half of the term, groups will be divided based on disciplines and courses of study; in the second half, you will re-group with students from other disciplines. Throughout the collaboration, you will be asked to reflect individually, and to evaluate the benefits and limitations of specific disciplinary approaches versus the potential for creative solutions when working with students across disciplines. ——— You can also choose a language module instead. Choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Business English – all languages are offered from beginner to advanced level.
Language Modules

At Regent’s, you will learn languages differently. You will learn in a highly practical way, in order to develop skills for authentic communication. At Regent’s, you will receive individual attention in a supportive atmosphere and learn through collaboration and innovative teaching methodologies.

You will also develop job-specific linguistic and cross-cultural skills and explore contemporary forms of communication at professional levels. 

Immersed in a unique classroom environment that embodies Regent’s cosmopolitan character, you will experience individual attention in a supportive atmosphere, learn through innovative teaching methodologies and develop your multilingual professional identity. 

Business English: Professional Writing – available Autumn or Spring Every professional journey will benefit from enhanced writing skills allowing you to express yourself and persuade others.  Classes provide opportunities to create written texts (such as work emails, letters, proposals and reports) while developing understanding of writing as a process and how to adapt writing for diverse audiences and purposes. At the same time, you will also consider the impact of choices around tone, style, formality and other key language aspects.  

This module offers a memorable experience of professional writing, harnessing technology use (such as digital word lists, text analysers) and formative feedback, all within a supportive classroom atmosphere.  

As a result, you will be ready to apply what you learn to tasks on this module in your university course or career. You may only take this module once.
Business English/Advanced Business English  – available Autumn or Spring For every prospective 21st century professional, higher-level business English skills are indispensable.

Business and Psychology
Sustainable Operations In resource-based businesses, strategic advantage is often underpinned by strong business operations and supply chains, which enable them to leverage information and technology to competitively manage customer service, costs and cash to maximise value. Sustainable operations relates to the responsible management of all people, resources and processes (including their indirect impacts) that create, supply and renew the services and products of an organisation or function. This module emphasises the core theme of sustainability, which addresses the economic, social and environmental aspects of operations over time as well as the role of advancing technology. It will empower you to examine and apply heuristics and strategic thinking to the development of the operations of a business you choose – equipping you with the skills to practically reflect, analyse and progress social, environmental, economic and sustainable operations.
Psychology in Post-Modernity What's new in psychology? What are the key areas of theory, research and practice innovation? What's cutting edge? From its classical roots, psychology has found its way into a diverse range of edges, innovations and intersections in the increasingly complex, multi-layered, postmodern social and technological worlds we occupy. The content of this module will evolve to keep track of new directions and developments in psychology across specialist fields and in the real world. Through a reflective lens, you'll engage with frameworks such as generational demographics in popular culture (Generation X+), postmodern psychology, AI and cyberpsychology and ecopsychology to consider the issues and challenges these areas raise and potential resolutions to them. A particular emphasis will also be placed on decolonised perspectives including issues related to LGBTQIA+, feminism, ableism, classism and intersectionality.
Psychology in Industry How will your degree equip you to add value to the workplace? What kinds of industries do psychology graduates work in? Business Psychology graduates bring considerable knowledge and skills, increasingly vital and in demand by employers across a wide range of industries, including business, arts, media, human resources, and technology. In this module, you'll focus through a psychosocial lens on wider industry and organisational contexts. You'll engage with intersectional fields such as marketing psychology, business psychology, and the psychology of fashion; learn about the psychological research skills used in industry; and understand why there's increasing demand for soft psychological skills. Plus, you'll creatively engage with relevant contemporary issues like cognitive bias in recruitment, behavioural economics, equality diversity and inclusion, and organisational and systemic dynamics.
In Year 2, you will also choose one of the following Experiencing Industry & Entrepreneurship modules:
Entrepreneurial Challenge Regent’s University London has been quoted as the UK university with the highest density of business founders. In this module, you will develop entrepreneurial thinking about how to grow your own or others’ entrepreneurial ideas.

You will have the freedom to choose between a range of entrepreneurial challenges and explore enterprise opportunities. In doing so, you will develop your own concepts and create an entrepreneurial plan. In collaboration with others, you will develop your entrepreneurial ideas through creative thinking, research and evaluation.

At the end of the module, you will pitch your idea, bringing your concepts closer to an exciting reality. If you have true ambitions to become a founder, the module will also prepare you to complete an individual entrepreneurial project in your final year.
Placement This placement module gives you the opportunity to experience industry and entrepreneurship in an external organisation. Through an immersive piece of work, either within or outside of your discipline, you will apply your knowledge and intellectual and practical skills to real life challenges to develop a critical appreciation of how an organisation operates and evolves.

These insights, skills and knowledge will not only prepare you for your next level of study, but they will also help you to build the attributes required to realise your future ambitions after graduation.
Industry Challenge In this module, you will experience the challenge and pace of the world of work through a real world or live project, chosen from a menu of industry scenarios. This will give you an insight into the culture, practices and commercial contexts of an industry, field or sector within which the project is situated.

The focus of this immersive experience will be on process, as you engage in team building, collaboration and project management, researching and testing concepts and presenting your concepts to address the industry challenge.

The module will support your personal and professional development so that, when you move into the final year of your course, you will be equipped to complete a significant individual project of your choice.

Business and Psychology
Disruptive Strategies and Models In an increasingly connected and turbulent world, it's essential for organisations to be able to respond to change strategically. Strategy is about helping organisations understand what's going on both outside and inside the organisation, where they want to be in the future, and how they need to get there. Organisations create business models that optimise the needs of current customers, balancing resources and capabilities with market demands. However, this can overlook the impact of potential new technologies and approaches. Today, disruptive technologies (for example blockchain and nanotechnology) are fundamentally challenging the business models within many industries. In this module, you'll explore how organisations can harness technologies to disrupt and create new business models. You’ll develop the confidence to think strategically, distil the frenzy and identify new and profitable opportunities – exposing you to the latest strategic approaches so you can think creatively, innovate and adapt by considering how businesses can create, capture value and disrupt.
Psychological Literacy in Action How can psychology help us build a better world? Psychological literacy refers to the ability to use psychology across personal, community, societal and global settings to the positive benefit of self and others. In this module, you'll examine how psychological literacy focuses on a holistic topic that spans theory, practice, research and real-world contexts, with increasing reflective, critical and evaluative depth. For example, you might explore the contemporary and growing field of trauma, which is informed by developmental psychology and psychoanalytic theory, and represented by widely varied empirical research. Trauma operates across the lifespan in individual, local and global contexts such as war, pandemic, and the environmental crisis, and is addressed through psychosocial and humanitarian practice interventions. Diverse discourses of trauma (for example victimhood, survivorship, resilience) can be found to impact lived experience represented in art and literature.
Major Project I The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You'll study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project. It's a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You'll have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your project to work you’re completing on other final year modules. You'll start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project.
Major Project II Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you'll realise and complete your work. This is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. You'll realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations, and learn through individual and group supervisions, workshops and studio practice, as appropriate to your project. If you're working on an entrepreneurial project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events.
