Program Description

You’ll learn about all aspects of business, such as finance, management and marketing, through an international lens. Discover how to manage people from different cultures and backgrounds as you develop cross-cultural organisation skills through real-life experience.  We offer a 3 or 4-year route for our BA (Hons) International Business course and are one of only a handful of universities that allows two years of study abroad. This opportunity offers a chance to broaden your horizons, learn about other people, and cultures and advance your professional and personal development.   You’ll also be able to study a language. We offer five languages: French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.  “The international business degree has been the most exciting adventure of my life! Not only has it provided an opportunity to study and work abroad for two years. I also gained fundamental skills to succeed in the business world.” surmises Heraldas Gaspariunas – winner of intellectual curiosity award in Deans awards 2020  Technology is a major part of any global business, and we embrace this by looking at experimental opportunities for students to engage with digitally at partner institutions.  This may include a virtual exchange, working on assignments with students in partner universities, or the opportunity to compete in an international business simulation game!  The result of such an expansive course is that many alumni are now in senior positions, employed in organisations such as Michael Page, Google, H&M, Amazon FBA, Legal & General, Virgin Atlantic, Clifford Chance, Thomas Reuters, Novartis Biome, British Board of Film Classifications and Mondelez International.  More recently, there has been a distinct trend for graduates to join tech companies such as OnePLM Ltd, Computacenter and Netgem.  Megan Curzon-Mann summarises her experience of the course: “International business provided me with the opportunity to not only study with like-minded individuals but travel abroad. I was able to work in several countries, expand my network and gain invaluable experience on an international level. This enhanced my chances of employment post-graduation and left me with a lifelong passion to continue travelling.”
