Why study WBS modules?

We offer lots of opportunities for cross-curricular study at the University of Warwick. If you study an undergraduate course outside of WBS, you have the opportunity to supplement your degree by studying a range of business-related modules.*

At WBS our world-class academics have developed a set of gateway modules in Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting introducing you to the key foundations of business. Our gateway modules provide you with flexibility to tailor your degree and explore new subject areas.

Whether you are seeking to enhance your employability, add a new dimension to your degree, or you simply want to explore a new area of interest, WBS has a range of elective modules for you to choose from.
