16 Building Your Major
As with all degree courses, there are certain

elements of the programme which all students
must study and complete. These are known as
‘core modules’. Students may then select
‘elective modules’ that will build towards a
major, or select open choices for those wishing
to take a broad range of subjects without spe-
cialising in a certain area. At every stage of
option selection you will have the opportunity
to discuss your module and major choices
with a personal tutor.
The seven majors offered on the

EBS London undergraduate programme are:
Economics
Finance
Law
Entrepreneurial Management
Human Resource Management
Management (general)
Marketing
Students can personalise

the programme with over 300
degree pathways.
