Founded by the Romans in 60 A.D., London is the undisputed business capital of Europe and a melting pot of the world's cultures and nationalities. The city is home to 7 million people who speak more than 200 languages. That international flavor is apparent at Webster's campus at picturesque Regent's College where native Europeans make up only a quarter of the graduate students. The presence of students from so many countries provides an exciting forum to discuss international issues.
Located 15 minutes from the West End, and the world-famous historical, arts, entertainment, and shopping attractions, the Regent's College campus is located in one of central London's royal parks. The classrooms line the quadrangle at the heart of the campus, surrounded by green lawns, gardens, tennis, and basketball courts.
During your 9-week stay in London you will complete:
- FINC 5880 Advanced Corporate Finance: This advanced study of corporate financial analysis and planning includes capital budgeting, cost of funds, and capital structure and valuation. Selected topics that may be covered are leasing, mergers, takeovers, business failure, reorganization, and liquidation. A combination of problem-solving and case study methodologies is used to illustrate theories and techniques helpful in financial analysis and planning.
- BUSN 6110 Operations and Project Management: This is a course that focuses on the major managerial issues in manufacturing management and the tools that can be used to manage them. Special attention will be given to project management, including PERT, critical path scheduling, and time-cost models, in operations management and other business settings. The major operations management issues are quality management and control, capacity management, plant location, layout and design, production planning and scheduling, supply chain management, and inventory management. The analytical tools covered include queuing theory, statistical quality control, linear programming, and learning curves. Where appropriate, the use of operations management techniques in service and distribution organizations will be demonstrated.
In addition, you'll have an opportunity to visit places such as Lloyds of London, the London Stock Exchange and other corporate visits.
