Program Overview

About this course

On this course, you’ll get a grounding in the fundamental principles of business, marketing and accounting, exploring each of these from a global perspective.

This degree aims to support you to develop the skills needed to become a future business leader. You’ll gain an understanding of how and why companies operate internationally, how to manage and communicate with colleagues from different cultures, as well as how to develop, adapt and market products for international markets.

Many of your modules will give you the opportunity to focus on specific countries and regions, analysing business practice and culture across varied parts of the world. You’ll explore how and why companies choose to internationalise and will select companies to investigate in detail in industries that interest you. You’ll learn in and out of the classroom, with opportunities to meet expert speakers from different sectors of the economy.

You’ll put theory into practice with professional work placements – with the option to work in a business operating internationally from the UK or in an international setting. You’ll also have the opportunity to study abroad and complete work-based international business research projects.

In your final year, you can deliver a professional work-based project in conjunction with an employer of your choice.

You’ll graduate with the confidence, skills and commitment required to make a successful impact in an international business environment.
