Teaching
Over three terms you will complete six core modules, alongside four optional modules designed to help you focus on your own areas of interest. One of these optional modules must be selected from our International Management suite, and students will be given a selection of topics and locations from which to choose. Assessment of these modules will vary, and you could be assessed by group presentation, peer assessment, individual assignment, or examination. Your studies will be completed by your dissertation.
You’ll also be offered optional free foreign language study in the evenings across all three terms. This is an opportunity to develop the basics of a new language. There is a choice of six different languages, all at beginner-level (please note we are not able to offer classes at intermediate/advanced level).
Class sizes
The typical class size for this course is around 260 students.
Typical contact hours
Students will typically receive between 27 and 30 contact hours per module via a mixture of virtual and in-person support. Some modules are taught over the course of a 10 week term, whilst others are delivered in an intensive block of up to 10 days.
Assessment
Assessment for modules varies to fit the subject being studied. You will have some individual assignments where we present the business challenge we want you to address, and others where we ask you to choose. In addition, group assignments will give you the chance to work together with your fellow students, and some will have an element of peer assessment to help you develop your skills in teams. Some modules conclude with an exam and the course will conclude with the completion of your individual dissertation.
Your timetable
Your personalised timetable will be complete when you are registered for all modules, core and optional, and you have been allocated to your lectures, seminars and other small group classes. Your core modules will be registered for you and you will be able to choose your optional modules when you join us.
There may be events taking place in the evenings. Classes may run up to 7pm and other events, such as careers presentations may take place later or on weekends. Occasionally, classes and exams may be held on weekends. We will notify you in advance if this is the case.
This is a full-time course, so there are no holidays as such. However, the two weeks covering Christmas and New Year are guaranteed to be free from lectures. There may also be weeks free over the Easter period (check with your programme team). Resit exams may take place outside of standard teaching periods.
Students will be required to take an International Management module, and most of these involve international travel. Flights accommodation will be provided for these, but you may incur some extra costs.
Reading lists
If you would like to view reading lists for current or previous cohorts of students, most departments have reading lists available through Warwick Library on the Talis Aspire platform.
You can search for reading lists by module title, code or convenor. Please see the modules tab of this page or the module catalogue.
Please note that some reading lists may have restricted access or be unavailable at certain times of year due to not yet being published. If you cannot access the reading list for a particular module, please check again later or contact the module’s host department.
Additional course cost
Students will take an international module as one of their elective options. WBS will cover the cost of travel, accommodation and some subsistence, but there may be some additional costs incurred by the student as part of this.
Some costs, such as Visa fees, must initially be covered by the student as WBS can’t apply for a Visa on your behalf – but will be reimbursed by WBS.
