It is taught on-campus a short walk from the City, fully online with live case seminars and through distance learning with mentored deadlines.

You will move beyond classroom theory into live strategic problems — entering a new market, restructuring a portfolio, pricing a service across geographies. The degree is positioned around real briefs supplied by London-based mid-cap and SME clients, and year-three students travel for a one-week international module to a partner city.

Why Study at LSCT

The London School of Commerce and Technology (LSCT) is a specialist higher-education provider based in central London and part of Harold International College. We teach in small cohorts so every student is visible to their tutor, run a single intake schedule that students can rely on, and partner with UK professional bodies so qualifications carry weight with employers. London puts Whitehall, the City, Silicon Roundabout, the Royal Courts of Justice, the West End and the NHS estate within a short tube ride of every classroom — and our students use that proximity in their projects, placements and graduate job hunts. Our strategy cohort runs a Friday case-clinic that mirrors a real consulting case interview — alumni from MBB and Big Four strategy practices return as case-givers.

Industry Context for the BSc in Global Business Strategy

The BSc in Global Business Strategy is sequenced against the working conditions of UK employers from 2026 onwards. Business and commerce employers in the UK are recruiting across both technical and managerial tracks, and decision-makers consistently report that the gap between a strong CV and a weak one is the presence of documented project work rather than only a transcript. Tutors translate sector trends — from regulatory change to platform consolidation — into the way coursework is briefed, so that the artefacts you assemble across modules are directly recognisable to a hiring manager. Reading lists and case material are refreshed each intake so the programme tracks the contemporary picture rather than a generic textbook chapter.

Cohorts include UK and international students from a wide range of starting points, and the mix is treated as an asset in seminar discussion. Group projects deliberately cross experience levels so that each student practises the kind of cross-functional collaboration that defines working life in the sector. The single annual intake means every cohort moves through the calendar together — building the kind of peer network that, in practice, opens many of the first job conversations after graduation.

Assessment Approach for the BSc in Global Business Strategy

The BSc in Global Business Strategy is assessed continuously across the year rather than weighted entirely on a final examination. Each module produces a portfolio artefact — a short report, a worked case, a presentation, a reflective journal entry or a defended project — and these accumulate into a working evidence set you can take to an interview panel. Tutors mark to UK employer expectations and give written feedback within published turnaround windows. Reasonable adjustments and English-language support are available, and the personal academic tutor signs off the assessment plan at the start of each term so the workload is visible from week one.
