The BSc (Hons) International Business and Management course integrates business, management, entrepreneurship and leadership disciplines and is oriented towards operating in a global environment. This course is perfect for anyone seeking a managerial business career with a multinational enterprise or domestic company which trades internationally, as well as entrepreneurs looking to set up their own business.
The work-based ’Business Internship’ module also gives students the option to undertake a ten-week internship in the UK or overseas without the need for a sandwich year. Plus, students will develop internationally sought-after skills and knowledge in key areas such as transnational collaboration, virtual team-working, use of technologies and global procurement and sourcing. In short, the tools and commercial insight students need to launch a managerial career anywhere in the world.
Students will have access to a network of value-adding activities throughout each year of study. In addition to the opportunity to speak a foreign language, students are able to build personal, academic and employability skills through the Business School’s Centre for Academic Success (CAS) and the Business Clinic. Typically, the learning experience will be a blend of class activity and independent learning.
Learners also have the opportunity to interface with students in other parts of the world by linking up virtually to create a ‘global classroom’, where they can work together on issues with global and cross-cultural significance. A range of speakers from global industries and guest lecturers with experience of multicultural working are included throughout the programme.
The International Business and Management course equips students for careers in management in a range of sectors and particularly within an international context. Graduate trainee opportunities with international companies would be suitable career starting points on completion of the course.
