Why Business at UEL

East London’s emerging business landscape provides the backdrop for University of East London’s recognition as 2025 University of the Year for teaching quality by Times and Sunday Times. While its 4th place ranking in England for student satisfaction speaks to academic standards, what truly distinguishes it is the sharp rise in graduate employment rates. The campus sits within miles of Excel Centre, O2 Arena, and London Stadium—venues hosting major business conferences and international events—placing students directly within the industry they’re studying rather than at its periphery.

Business Management

The BSc (Hons) Business Management topped eight categories in the 2025 National Student Survey, including teaching quality and learning opportunities. Spanning three years, it covers marketing, business analytics, finance, and strategic planning while emphasizing adaptability to shifting business environments through project management and supply chain optimization. Students engage with real-world projects and can opt for a year-long company placement, graduating with both theoretical knowledge and practical management tools for corporate careers or entrepreneurship.

HR at University of East London

The BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management holds accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, ensuring global employer recognition. It blends foundational HR principles with contemporary business realities—recruitment, employee development, labor law, and ethics—while offering international HR specialization. A work placement module provides hands-on experience within actual organizations before graduation, and the final year addresses strategic people management and leadership for those entering the global workforce.

Events Management

Britain’s events industry generates roughly £36 billion annually, and the BA (Hons) Events Management—accredited by the Institute of Hospitality—prepares professionals for this sector. Students explore event design, theming, finance, law, and leadership, with second-year work projects delivered as genuine placements. The third year introduces options for international practice abroad, equipping graduates with skills for tourism, hospitality, and events of any scale.

MBA in Business Analytics

Industry 4.0 demands leaders who can make data-driven decisions, and this Chartered Management Institute-accredited MBA merges strategic business education with data science expertise.

Flexible day or evening scheduling allows students to balance the program with employment.
