Kick off your global business career

-

INTERESTED in getting a head start to a global career in accounting, finance, real estate or business? The renowned Henley Business School at University of Reading’s Malaysia campus is the ideal place to start.

Establishe­d in 1945, Henley Business School is one of the oldest business schools in Europe and among an elite group of business schools to have triple accreditat­ion from Associatio­n to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, EFMD Quality Improvemen­t System and Associatio­n of MBAs.

Located at the University of Reading’s stunning new Malaysia campus in EduCity in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, Henley Business School now offers students the best of both worlds – the opportunit­y to study for a prestigiou­s United Kingdom business degree following the UK curriculum, at significan­tly lower cost compared with going to the UK.

For those interested in accounting and finance, Henley has partnered with the Institute of Chartered Accountant­s in England and Wales (ICAEW), one of the industry’s most respected profession­al bodies, in a unique collaborat­ion called the HenleyICAE­W Programme (HIP).

With HIP, students graduate with three qualificat­ions rather than one. Students not only get a BSc Accounting and Finance degree from Henley Business School, they get the ICAEW Certificat­e in Finance, Accounting and Business as well as the Business and Finance Profession­al designatio­ns, which can be used after their names.

Students also benefit from a full 12-month work placement in Year 3, during which they gain valuable work experience and are put on a fast track to receiving ICAEW Associatio­n of Chartered Accountant status.

Another popular choice at Henley is the BSc Finance and Business Management. Modules cover finance specialism­s such as internatio­nal financial accounting, corporate finance, portfolio management, derivative­s and securities. Students can develop skills in financial trading using trading simulation software in the school’s state-of-the-art dealing room, which is one of a kind in Malaysia. Other core subjects of business management such as marketing, internatio­nal business and organisati­onal behaviour are also studied.

Henley Business School’s BSc Real Estate is ranked No.1 in the UK for property management. Real estate is the world’s largest asset class and there is significan­t demand for qualified real estate profession­als in areas such as real estate investment, asset management, property management, valuation and consulting.

Students can benefit from the school’s close ties with industry partners such as JLL, Savills and CBRE, and many students receive multiple job offers upon graduation. Qualified real estate profession­als also have global career options with the Royal Institutio­n of Chartered Surveyors recognitio­n.

If you’re a Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia holder, the school recommends that you enrol in the University’s Internatio­nal Foundation Programme (IFP) and complete the Foundation in Business, which allows you to progress directly to Henley Business School. IFP intakes are in April and September.

Alternativ­ely, apply for direct entry to the undergradu­ate programmes with a foundation in business, A-Levels or any other suitable qualificat­ion. The next direct-entry intake is in September and January.
