June 29: Ravensbourne University London, in partnership with Oxford International Education Group, has opened applications for its September 2026 intake, offering students a wide range of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes designed to build industry-ready skills and support long-term career success.
As students increasingly prioritise employability, career outcomes and practical exposure while selecting universities, Ravensbourne University London continues to strengthen its offering through programmes that combine academic excellence with real-world learning experiences. Located on London’s Greenwich Peninsula next to The O2, one of the world’s leading creative, technology and business hubs, the university provides students with access to networking opportunities, employer connections, industry events and cultural experiences throughout their academic journey.
A key highlight for the September 2026 intake is Ravensbourne’s postgraduate Industry Year pathway, a distinctive two-year study route designed to enhance career readiness and practical learning.

Industry Year postgraduate programmes available for September 2026 include MBA with Industry Year, MSc Project Management with Industry Year, MSc Accounting and Finance with Industry Year, MSc Strategic Marketing and Analytics with Industry Year, MSc International Finance with Industry Year, MSc Events Management with Industry Year and MSc Engineering Management with Industry Year.
These programmes have been designed to provide specialised skills aligned with evolving industry demands. MBA with Industry Year focuses on strategic leadership and business management capabilities, while MSc Project Management prepares students to manage complex projects across industries. MSc Accounting and Finance and MSc International Finance equip students with financial decision-making and analytical skills for global financial environments. MSc Strategic Marketing and Analytics combines consumer behaviour, marketing strategy and data-driven decision-making, while MSc Events Management builds expertise in planning and executing events at an international level. MSc Engineering Management develops leadership and operational capabilities for engineering-focused environments.
Alongside the Industry Year pathway, Ravensbourne also offers one-year master’s programmes for students looking for faster academic progression and strong return on investment. Programmes including MSc Cyber Security, MSc Software Engineering and other specialised postgraduate courses provide students with focused learning experiences designed to accelerate career development.
Beyond postgraduate opportunities, Ravensbourne University London is also globally recognised for its strong undergraduate portfolio, particularly across creative and emerging
disciplines. Undergraduate programmes in fashion, architecture, business, digital media, design and technology enable students to combine creative thinking with practical learning and industry exposure from the beginning of their academic journey.
