Extract from the recent BAC inspection: The European BusinessSchool London was first accredited by the British AccreditationCouncil for Independent Further and Higher Education in 1995. It was most recently re-inspected in 2006.

The School was considered to offer an excellent level of provisionin all of the areas assessed during the inspection. There was anexcellent integration of the academic programmes with the devel-opment of the awareness, skills and experience required by studentsfor entry to their chosen careers, which was further supported bythe guidance and advice provided by the Careers and InternshipsServices Centre. The level of pastoral and academic supportprovided by the School, and more generally with Regent’s College,was outstanding, as was the School’s clear commitment to continu-ous review of its provision in the light of student comment and thechanging international context of business. The School’s staff were

notable for their wide range of academic and professional quali-fications and experience. Academic resources, both within theSchool and within Regent’s College, were comprehensive.

Emily Barnick,MexicoEmily Barnick is from Mexicoand took French andGerman at EBS London.Before studying at EBSLondon, she was alreadyfluent in three languages.

“When I arrived at EBS London, I didn’t know

anyone at the school”, states Emily. “However,

because of the small-sized campus, it is easy to

fit in, and the students and staff are very friendly

and helpful. One of the best things about EBS

London is the language teaching. I felt very well-

prepared for my study periods abroad.”

Andreea Petrisor,Romania“For me EBS London was the

point of no return. I got more

than I ever expected in terms of

academic knowledge, experi-

ence, friends and, most of all, life. The school is

great because all the theory learned is also

applied in different real and current case studies.

This helps develop a lot of skills which are crucial

in the business world, such as working in a team,

the ability to make a good presentation or to work

under pressure. The environment helps me practise

my language skills because in every corner of this

school I can hear different languages. Also, as part

of this course I get to spend one semester in

Buenos Aires and one in Paris, something I’ve never

such a rich experience and my year abroad just

flew by. When I arrived in Spain I knew the basics

of the language and struggled a bit in my first

few classes, and now it feels amazing to be com-

pletely fluent. My time in Spain was fantastic and

I gained so much from my studies there.” Serene

LCP: Leadership, Creative Management, Psychology

EBS London offers innovative option modules

not usually found on a traditional business

degree programme. Within its multi-cultural

practical framework, LCP encourages creativity

and innovation with a range of learning experi-

ences.

The LCP Experience (a combination of

Leadership and Management, Creative

Management, Psychology and Dramatic Arts

modules) exists to link business theory to man-

agerial practice. Leadership and Management is

a final year core module, whereas Creative

Management (final year course), as well as

Psychology and Dramatic Arts (first year

course), are both option modules. Psychology

and Dramatic Arts students are led (‘directed’)

by LCP final year students to encourage a

‘reward system’ which enhances personal

growth processes. Each year LCP students set

up Short Film Competitions, Dramatic Plays,

Fashion Shows, Arts Exhibitions and Music

Concerts, in partnership – and in competition

– with dramatists, publishers, filmmakers, musi-

cians, actors, fashion designers and

broadcasters. LCP strives to establish higher

management quality through the development

of its advanced creative products. Working

together with cinemas, theatres, galleries, pro-

duction studios and TV channels, LCP short

films have been shown in London, Berlin and

Cannes. LCP’s major objective is to unite dif-

ferent styles within a defined framework and

to provide a platform for young talented

artists to exhibit. For example, twice a year

arts exhibitions at the Zizi Gallery in Mayfair,

London, present sculptures, paintings, photog-

raphy or computer-based graphical projects

involving improvisational transformation of

business-related information. Working together

with internal as well as external artists, LCP

encourages awareness of emerging talents.

LCP fosters a self-directed, autonomous

learning approach where students are fully

responsible for progress made. For further

information about the work of LCP, please

EBS London students have a great overview of all the important areas inbusiness, finance, management and marketing. The casework, strategicmanagement and team-working elements to the EBS London degree givetheir students an edge over the competition. The track record with ourcompany has been excellent, with EBS London as the best runner in ourrecruitment after Oxford and Cambridge."

“

“There is no longer any doubt that in a glob-

alised economy the successful pursuit of

business requires multilingual and multicultural

knowledge and expertise. So, whatever job you

seek, having a thorough knowledge of a foreign

language in its business context will provide you

with a remarkable competitive edge and will

prove to be an excellent professional asset. At

EBS London we are proud of the wide range of

languages we offer.”

Josef Müller, Co-ordinator for Languages

Chinese is the largest official language in the

world. China’s economy has been growing at

about 10% per year for nearly thirty years.

Moreover, the joining of the WTO in 2000 has

highlighted China as a key growth area for

international trade and partnership develop-

ment, making it the fourth largest exporting

and the third largest importing nation.

Spanish is the world’s second largest interna-

tional language, with more than 400 million

speakers in more than 20 countries (including

over 40 million in the US). With sustained

growth rates of over 3% annually, Spain is one

of the fastest growing economies in the

Eurozone. The countries of Latin America are

currently competing successfully in many indus-

tries in the world market. The existence of

regional trade agreements such as NAFTA

(TLCAN) and MERCOSUR, together with the

region’s optimistic stance towards globalisation,

evidences the importance of this large trade

area. Furthermore, the Hispanic community -

with its growing success in many areas of

business - is the largest and fastest growing

minority in the USA, making Spanish the

second language in the USA.

French is one of the official languages of the

European Union and Canada. It is also one of

the leading languages in Europe and other

continents with 113 million Francophones

worldwide. In many countries of the Middle

East, the Far East and Africa, the French

language still enjoys a privileged position in

administration, commerce and business due to

old cultural ties with France and the existence

of a large French-speaking population in these

states. On an international level, after English,

French is the most commonly taught second

language in the world today.

With over 100 million speakers, more people

speak German as their native language than

any other language in Europe. Not only the

residents of Germany speak German, it is also

an official language of Austria, Switzerland,

Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. In addition to

that, around 20 million people are learning

German as a foreign language worldwide.

Germany was the world’s largest exporting

nation in 2003-2005, ahead of the USA, and is

the number one trade partner of many

economies, including Italy, France and Russia.

Two-thirds of the world's leading international

trade fairs take place in Germany, so there is

no doubt that knowing German creates

business opportunities.

All undergraduate students at EBS London study languages as a compulsory part of the BA (Hons)

International Business degree programme. You can study one or two languages, including one as a complete

beginner if you wish, choosing from Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.

The Language of Business

Italian means business, as well as culture. With

its roots in Rome and the Latin world, the

Italian language and culture offers a unique

combination of art and technology. Italy offers

golden business opportunities. Having started

the privatisation process only recently,

compared to its European counterparts, very

profitable markets for banks and financial insti-

tutions are being opened up. Key industries are

varied and diverse, and include fashion, design,

the automotive industry, and of course food

and catering.

Japanese is the native tongue of the world’s

second-largest economy and increasingly

widely spoken as a second language around

the Pacific Rim. The Nikkei trades a larger

volume of stocks than any other exchange in

the world each day, and many of the world’s

top business organisations are Japanese.

Portuguese, with over 200 million native

speakers in the world, is the sixth most spoken

language and the third most spoken European

language (after English and Spanish) in the

world. It is the official language of 7 countries

and a major lingua franca in Africa. Culturally

and commercially, the place of Portuguese in

the world is undeniably relevant due to Brazil’s

growing economic presence. With Brazil’s lead

role in the Southern Latin American Common

Market and Portugal’s membership in the

European Union since 1986, Portuguese is

today widely taught both in Europe and South

America.

Russia is beginning to realise its enormous

business potential (with the largest oil and gas

reserves of any country in the world) and

many important multinational companies have

bases in Moscow or in other cities. Russian is

understood across Eastern Europe and is

widely used in the central Asian republics such

as Uzbekistan and Khazakstan.

Born in the western corner

of Austria that borders on

Germany and Switzerland,

Philipp Lehner developed an

awareness of multiculturalism

from his early days. After fin-

ishing school, and having completed his military

service in Austria, he went to spend time in

South America, first a few months in Buenos

Aires, then backpacking through what he calls

“the continent of passion and enormously rich

nature”. He returned to Europe a year later

and started his degree in International Business

at the European Business School in London,

attracted by the course offer, the range of lan-

guages, and the location. “As foreign languages I

took Spanish, to maintain my freshly acquired

language skills, and also Chinese, to throw myself

at the next challenge.” He is going to spend his

Study Period Abroad for two semesters in

Nanjing, China. So far he has already complet-

ed work placements with ‘Credit Suisse’, ‘RS

Consulting’ and ‘Alpla’, all in the UK, and

‘Wipro New Logic’ in Austria. When being

asked to state three adjectives representing his

personality, he says “energetic, respectful to the

individual and hungry for knowledge on the

academic, as well as the life experience side”.

Looking into the future, he sees himself suc-

cessfully applying his international life

experiences and practical knowledge of

business itself, acquired through internships

and studies, to his own business.

The combination of marketing and languages is

one language to another or inappropriate product names

were launched into a disbelieving new market. Our

This sample degree shows how you can take two

The major in this sample degree is Management with an

emphasis on Entrepreneurship. It shows how it is

possible to build this expertise through the electives

both at EBS London and during your Study Period

Abroad.

Entrepreneurship has always been one of the School’s

great strengths. Many of our students have traditionally

come from entrepreneurial backgrounds, and a high

proportion go on to found their own businesses soon

after graduating. We have a formal degree structure to

assure you of the best possible preparation, especially

through the MA in Entrepreneurial Management.


If your present qualifications do not allow you

to be admitted directly onto our BA (Hons)

degree, or you simply want to feel more confi-

dent about studying business with languages,

you may enrol on our Business Foundation

Course. This is a full-time programme which

prepares students for the degree-level studies

offered at the European Business School

London. Course modules are assessed by

means of coursework assignments and exami-

nations. You may also study a foreign language

(subject to demand/availability).

Progression onto the BA (Hons) DegreeSome students on the Business Foundation

Course are required to complete two semes-

ters before progressing onto our degree

programmes. However, if you achieve a

Distinction or high Merit in all assessments

during your first semester, you may progress

onto your degree without taking the second

semester of the Business Foundation Course. If

you do take the second semester of the

Business Foundation Course, you must achieve

more than 40% in all assessments to be con-

sidered for progression to a degree

programme. All the rules and regulations for

the Business Foundation Course are outlined

in the EBS London Foundation Programme

Student Handbook.

How to Apply for the Business Foundation CourseIf you wish to enrol on our Foundation

Course, you should apply directly to EBS

London by contacting Admissions. You may

also apply online at

www.ebslondon.ac.uk/applyonline which gives

full details of the supporting documentation

we require to assess your application.

tsOther LanguagesFrom the eight languages offered at EBS

London (see page 8) you cannot study your

native language, and our programme does not

allow students to take more than one

language at beginner level. English is the

language of instruction, not a language option.

Language TestingOn Registration Day, if you are a non ab initio

(not a beginner) language student you will be

required to take a diagnostic test in your

chosen language. The results of this test will

determine which language class you will be

placed in. EBS London reserves the right to

make changes to your degree choice based on

the result of this test.

The Admissions Office will require originals or

certified documents of all qualifications on reg-

istration day. All non-English documents must

be accompanied by a certified/notarised

English translation.

UCAS ApplicationsTo apply via UCAS, you should consult the

UCAS website - www.ucas.ac.uk. The EBS

London UCAS code is E77. A full list of the

UCAS codes relevant to the EBS London

undergraduate course is available on the

Other ApplicationsWe welcome applications from transfer of

credit, international exchange,

Erasmus/Socrates and study abroad students.

Please contact the Admissions Office for

further details on how to apply.

International exchange students, including

those on the Erasmus scheme, must have

completed at least the second year of their

undergraduate course before studying at EBS

London. The final application dates to

complete a study period abroad at EBS

London are 15 November for the Spring

semester and 15 May for the Autumn

semester. It is very important that you secure

the approval of your home university for all

courses you plan to take at EBS London

before applying.

Iain Small, eFinancialCareers

The professionalism and ‘can do’ attitude ofEBS London students is of exceptional valueto us”“

Transfer of CreditsIf you have already participated in degree-level

education, you may be able to transfer some

of your credits towards a course at EBS

London. This recognition of Advanced Prior

Learning (APL) may make it possible for you to

begin your studies at a more advanced level

within the programme. Recognition of APL is

at the discretion of EBS London.

Any applicant being considered for APL will be

required to have equivalent qualifications from

another university that meet the Learning

Outcomes of the BAIB Programme. A key cri-

terion for the acceptance of APL qualifications

will be the similarity of the Learning Outcomes

between the two programmes, such that the

exemptions are matched specifically to partic-

ular modules within the BAIB programme.

To apply for transfer of credit, you must

provide detailed descriptions (certified transla-

tions where necessary) of any courses taken,

and transcripts of relevant grades. Transfer of

credit will only be assessed before entry.

Making an OfferOnce we have assessed your application, the

Admissions Officer will write to you to inform

you of our decision. UCAS applicants will also

receive official notification via the UCAS

system.

Applicants who have documentation missing,

or those who have not yet taken school

leaving examinations, will receive a conditional

offer.

The two half-scholarships cover half the tuition

fees for the three and a half year BA (Hons)

International Business course. These special

prizes have been established to celebrate the

international spirit of EBS London. The panel

of judges from EBS London will be looking for

a creative and research-based approach to

your work. The winning entry should be inter-

esting and thought-provoking, and should not

exceed eight double-spaced pages in length.

To enter the competition for the EBSLInternational Business Scholarship 2008-2009,please answer one of the following questions:

1. The wealthy and successful retailer, Sir Philip

Green, gave the following advice on a career in

business (The Independent, July 2007):

a. Stick to what you know

b. Plug in (to information and

general knowledge)

c. Get a feel for trends

d. Take risks

e. Don’t think about what you can’t do

f. Say ‘come and see me’

g. Work hard

h. Even tycoons need R & R

(rest & relaxation)

Comment on this advice and, following appro-

priate research, make any other suggestions

you consider to be applicable to success in

business and management.

2.Many EBS London graduates start their own

businesses immediately after graduation – a

few have set them up while they are still

studying! Your task is to produce a business


The EBS London International Business Scholarship is an outstanding prize which covers all tuition fees

for the three and a half year BA (Hons) International Business degree course, and is worth over £40,000.

usin

ess proposal for any new venture, indicating clearly

how the new business venture will be funded

and how it will attract customers.

3.One of the most difficult areas of corporate

conduct relates to the lines where the norms

of ethical behaviour are crossed. For example,

what is the dividing line between using the

company photocopier to make copies of

personal documents and defrauding an inter-

national company of millions of dollars through

devious accounting procedures? Discuss this

proposition in relation to ethics in international

business, citing recent and relevant examples

and giving your own views on ethical conduct

in business.

4.The motto of the Chartered Institute of

Linguists is “Universal Understanding.” The

Institute seeks to promote the view that one

of the prime keys to understanding other

peoples and cultures is knowledge and ability

in the appropriate language. Discuss the

meaning of the motto, invent any other appro-

priate mottos, and explain why you think that

language learning is essential for greater uni-

versal understanding. In researching and writing

your essay, you can discuss your own experi-

ence of other peoples and their cultures, of

languages, and of language learning.

5. In the last few years, there has been a ren-

aissance of “economic patriotism” within world

trade. Certain countries in particular have

sought to protect their own industries. Give

relevant examples of “economic patriotism”

and discuss the theoretical context and practi-

cal effects of this on the conduct of world trade.

Scholarship 2007-2008

“I chose EBSL because the

education I receive here truly

equips me with the necessary

skills to launch into the inter-

national business world. It was the scholarship

application process that convinced me and gave

me the confidence that I made the right decision.

Writing my project was a pleasure because it

brought me on two journeys - one through the

wide fields of Asian and European business, and

the other to EBS London where I got amazing

ideas and perspectives from other application

essays.”

Amber Hercules, Trinidad and Tobago

Half-Scholarship Winner 2007-2008

“It's my desire to be a

business catalyst - someone

who suggests strategies which

take business to a greater level

of success. EBSL is the place to

learn about these strategies and to develop the

critical thinking that leads to such an inventive

decision-making approach. On the scholarship

presentations day the interaction between the

presenters was fantastic. We came from very

diverse countries and had done different essays.

The panel was warm and receptive, and it was a

wonderful and unique challenge.”

Each Spring and Autumn, EBS London hosts

European and International Lectures for its

collective stakeholders. They provide an oppor-

tunity to hear prominent global business

people and public figures from a broad

spectrum of backgrounds speak on issues of

current and future importance to world

business and the economy.

Whether a panel discussion or individual

speaker, each lecture enables the audience to

participate through a question and answer

platform and the opportunity to network with

fellow guests during the post - lecture drinks

reception.

The reputation of the EBS London lectures,

attended by about 400 invited guests including

Ambassadors and senior business executives

from leading international companies and gov-

ernment agencies, has built a strong diplomatic,

business and political network for the school.

The Lecture series additionally provides an

opportunity for the business community to

meet EBS London students and alumni,

offering them a first hand introduction to the

Global Managers of the future.

The Jean Monnet Memorial series began fol-

lowing the European Council’s naming of 1988

as ‘Jean Monnet Year’. An important figure sup-

porting the cause for a united Europe,

Monnet’s life spanned the most pivotal histori-

cal events influencing post-war Europe. He

became the first president of the High

Authority of ECSC but left in 1955 to head an

action committee for a united Europe. Made

an ‘honorary citizen’ of Europe in 1976, he

died in 1979. Jean Monnet’s motto was:

"keep going, keep going, there is nofuture for the people of Europeexcept in union."

Sir Leon Brittan, then EC Commissioner, gave

the first Jean Monnet Lecture at EBS London

on 3 March 1989 on "The Future of an Open

Europe". He returned as Vice President of the

EU to give the 10th Jean Monnet lecture in

1998 on "The EU: preparing for the 21st

Century".

With over 2000 alumni working in more than

80 countries in a wide variety of industries, our

alumni continue to play an important role in

the life of the School long after they graduate.

Alumni clubs throughout the world ensure the

continued strength of the Association and its

unique networking opportunities. The Alumni

are fully supported by the EBS London Alumni

and Corporate Relations team, who assist with

gatherings and meetings around the world, and

offer continuing professional support through-

out their careers. EBS London sits at the

centre of a valuable network of alumni

contacts to which we welcome all EBS London

graduates.

Alumni as AmbassadorsAlumni are ambassadors for EBS London and

play an important role promoting the School

within the organisations in which they work.

Alumni, many of whom were offered their first

job after graduation as a result of the positive

impression they had made during their work

placements, play a key role in helping the

School identify opportunities for students on

all our degree programmes. EBS London

alumni know better than anyone what unique

qualities graduates of the School can bring to

an organisation, and what a difference they can

make. They are, therefore, at the forefront of

encouraging their employers to visit the

School year after year and actively recruit from

each new cohort of graduates. When you start

your first job after graduation, you may well

owe a debt of thanks to our alumni for their

help.

EBS London Alumni MentoringIn addition, through our Alumni Mentoring

scheme our alumni offer an invaluable source

of advice for students seeking help, whether

for career information and guidance, assistance

with study projects, information on companies,

cultural information or just a friendly voice

who understands EBS London and its unique

programmes of study.

assisting them in the exchange of information

between our graduates, and acting as the

EBS London students are confident andversatile. Their financial knowledge andinternational focus is particularlyattractive to us.” “

You will complete your degree as a person

with the added value of self-awareness. Your

grasp of business principles will be sound, and

your practical experience will have empow-

ered you to be both capable and confident.

You will be eminently employable.

You should ask yourself:Who am I? What are my ambitions?

What kind of career do I want to have?

What kind of organisation do I want to

work for? Do I want to start my own

business venture?

What unique mix of knowledge, skills and

abilities will I bring to that organisation?

What are my strengths, values and

motivation?

As you determine the direction of your future

career, our Careers Guidance and Internship

Services will offer you help, guidance and

coaching for success, as defined by you,

– for you.

Once you have worked out your chosen

career path, the next task is to sell yourself

effectively. You will have three distinct advan-

tages.

Firstly, you will have the EBS London name on your degree certificate. As many of our previous graduates have found, it is a name held in very high regard by top organisations around the world. It is a namethat ‘shouts’ business and linguistic abilities.

Secondly, you will have the international network of EBS London graduates. Some recruit directly and others give help and advice to current undergraduates. Many more are simply spreading the School’s reputation for excellence, paving the way for you and other new graduates to follow them into top jobs in leading business organisations.

Thirdly, you will have the expert and experienced assistance of our Careers Guidance and Internship Services. The great strength of our international team is that by the time you are ready to graduate,they will know you very well. They will havediscussed your career plans with you in your first and second years, and helped youidentify suitable organisations for your 36 weeks of internships. They will have listenedto your feedback – and that of your host organisation – and helped you refine your choices and take appropriate next steps foryour career development. You will have an individual work experience and career objective programme which will build up steadily from the day you join EBS London to the day you graduate.

You may already have career plans before you embark on the programme and, as soon as you join, we

will begin working with you on preparations for the future.

Nine Steps to a Successful Future

During your EBS London degree you will be able to:-

1. Refine your CV with assistance from our

Careers Guidance and Internship Services

(CGIS)

2. Sign up for individual career counselling

sessions

3. Choose the electives best suited to your

chosen career

4. Identify target employers in your chosen

career area

5. Start sending your CV to target employers

6. Attend workshops and mock interviews

7. Schedule interviews with target employers

8. Use CGIS resources to help prepare for

your interviews

9. Our Professional Development Portfolio

designed by EBS London sets SMART

objectives to keep you ‘on track’ and

help monitor your progress

“University careers and internship services are

traditionally separate – one providing information

for final year students, while the other secures

work placements as part of a degree pro-

gramme. Some university careers services offer

an information library and careers counselling.

Others offer workshops on CV writing and inter-

view techniques. Few, however, bring all of these

activities together in one focused and co-ordinat-

ed service, helping you to market yourself

proactively to employers. EBS London’s CGIS have

recently opened a new international resource

centre with international staff, thus further

improving the quality of the service.”

Simon Hamm - Head of EBS London CareersGuidance and Internship Services

Professionals International and is also a Past
