BSc International Business Management with Study Abroad

Program Overview

---

In this four-year degree course you will learn about international business and study internationally, spending a year at one of our partner universities overseas.

This degree is the same as the three-year BSc International Business Management during the first two years. You will spend your third year abroad studying modules in business and management in English at one of our partner universities.

You will return to Bristol for your final year, when you will complete a dissertation, a piece of individual research in which you can focus on a topic that stimulates your interest the most. You will also take other core and optional units.
