“A campus with a wealth of opportunities” best describes Regent’s College. Not

only is it one of the few colleges thathas a campus in central London, but itsprime park location makes it easy forstudents to explore one of the world’smost entertaining cities from dusk todawn. Baker Street tube station, whichis only a 5-minute walk away, links stu-dents to major sites and attractions inLondon and adventurous types cantake the train to other major Europeancities.

London is a city of colours and con-trasts, of ancient history and 21st cen-tury modernity, a melting pot of theworld’s cultures and nationalities. Sincethe Romans founded Londinium inAD60, London has grown and pros-pered to establish itself as the largest,most exciting city in Europe. With apopulation of 7 million, 30% of whomare of overseas descent, London is oneof the biggest and most ethnicallydiverse cities in the world, with around200 languages spoken within its con-fines. The country’s news and moneyare made here, and many of thebiggest multinational companies in theworld are based in London’s financialdistrict.

London - a vibrant city

London’s museums and galleries – several of them ranking amongst the

world’s finest – are full of treasurestrawled from Europe and beyond.Monuments from the capital’s moreglorious past, from medieval banquet-ing halls to the great churches of SirChristopher Wren, stand alongsidemodern wonders such as the TateModern.

For entertainment, London is trulyunsurpassed. London caters for allshopping tastes, from lively markets in

Por tobello Road and Camden Town, toexpensive boutiques and worldrenowned department stores such asHarrods and Selfridges. There are hun-dreds of nightclubs, restaurants andtheatres to choose from, as well as themany London pubs which arerenowned for their character and bon-homie. As the home of the RoyalOpera House, Royal Albert Hall andLondon Symphony, there are facilitiesfor every kind of music lover.

Contrary to popular belief, Londonneed not be an expensive place to live.The city’s huge student populationmeans that there is plenty of goodvalue accommodation to be found inthe capital and many shops and attrac-tions offer student discounts. FromMichelin starred restaurants to all-you-can-eat Indian buffets, there is a restau-rant to suit every pocket in London.

Christian David-Griffiths (UK)RBS London - MA Graduate 2004

Christian David-Griffiths followed RBSLondon’s Masters programme. He isfrom the UK, but has spent much of hislife living abroad, attending a number ofinternational schools. He joined RBSLondon as an undergraduate student in1998, with A Levels in Business, Designand Computer Science and graduatedin 2000 with a BA (Hons) InternationalBusiness. Upon graduating, Christian

enrolled on a graduate training pro-gramme with The Institution ofMechanical Engineers.

“RBS London sets the internationaldimensions required to succeed inglobal business. It’s like a global village,with a family atmosphere, encouragingcross-cultural awareness. The Schoolputs great emphasis on experientiallearning that prepares you for employ-ment. I found this put me at an advan-

tage when applying for jobs, comparedto candidates from other institutions.

I was attracted to come back to RBSLondon to do a Masters for a numberof reasons - the specialisation of thecourse in entrepreneurship and theopportunity to top-up my programmewith a Webster University MBA.

This Masters programme has beenboth challenging and fun - and I haveenjoyed a number of additional activi-ties outside the curriculum. In our 1stsemester, a group of us entered the

Universities Business Challenge, spon-sored by IBM. This was an outstandingexperience, combining the pressure ofworking under time constraints whileharnessing the strengths of all theteam-members to make an efficientgroup. It is an excellent addition to myCV and has been a useful talking pointat interviews.”

Christian’s career preferences are con-sultancy or marketing, with particular

emphasis towards e-commerce.

E-Business Management

The reality of an increasingly

networked world is having a dramatic

effect on how goods and services are

marketed. The web is revolutionising

business-to business, business-to-customers, customers-to-business and

customer-to-customer contact. New

business models are needed and

international strategies can take on any

number of mixes of “bricks and clicks.”

This module discusses the nature of E-

business opportunities, the implications

for business culture and domains, the

application of Intranet/Extranet-based

communications and related personnel

and implementation issues.

Family Business DynamicsAn essential module for students from

a family business background. It

provides a working knowledge of the

key issues that affect family businesses;

such as ownership, succession, values,

organisation structure, family & non-

family remuneration and reward, career

and conflict resolution. This module

develops skills in using models for

assessment and intervention in family

businesses and examines formal

communication systems in the

regulation of family involvement in

business.
