Description

The increasing globalisation of business means that managers with an international perspective are in demand. This programme is designed to reflect the contemporary importance of preparing students to work in a global context in national, international and multi-national companies.

Studying International Business is a great opportunity to gain a degree that is focused on students' long-term career prospects. Whether they are thinking of setting up their own business, working in a large corporation, the public sector or the ever-growing tourist industry they will need to possess an understanding of how businesses operate and how skilled managers can contribute to their success.

By focusing on international business, students will gain specialist insight into the issues that impact and influence internationalisation efforts by a range of organisations, with a primary focus upon profit-making enterprises.

If students want to gain international experience, boosting their CV for work after they study, they can opt to include time studying abroad. The university has connections with institutions across the globe including in the USA, Australia and Europe.

Year in Industry

All of our business students have the option of adding in a year in industry and / or a semester of studying abroad with one of our partners to their course. A year in industry gives students fantastic experience and is attractive to potential employers. This normally takes place after the second year of the course and extends the course duration by one year (15% of the standard tuition fee is chargeable). Study Abroad normally takes place for a semester of the second year of the course and doesn’t extend the course duration as credits achieved abroad count towards your degree.

You don’t need to decide whether you would like to take either of these options until after you have started the course with us.
