The journey begins from day one. As finance, socio-economic factors, politics, geography, language and culture all influence business, you’ll begin the programme with an exploration of how these can help shape business strategy within an international marketplace.
Like our other undergraduate programmes, our BA in Business Management helps broaden perspective and develops practical skills which are highly appealing to future employers in a global economy.
In the third and fourth year, you’ll be able to take your pick from topics which particularly appeal to you, such as Modern China, The Global Investor, Operations Management and International Finance. Renowned and highly qualified business leaders are invited to speak to our BA International Business students, sharing their experience within the industry, while visits to organisations and museums enhance experiential learning.
You’ll also be able to tailor your International Business degree by taking a minor from a wide range of other leading academic disciplines.
Many of our students gain international industry experience through an accredited internship, which helps shape their education and career choice.
