Program Overview

Every future business leader needs a good understanding of global business issues and dynamics. Our BSc (Hons) in International Business Management will provide you with the theory and practice to make management decisions in rapidly changing environments.  This fascinating International Business Management course provides specialist business and management education that is deeply international in focus. You’ll gain skills and knowledge across a range of business functions, all with a global orientation, to develop an understanding of real-world business decisions and actions that transcend borders. You’ll also have the chance to study or work for a year in a different country.

Your studies begin with an introduction to the global business environment, key marketing principles and financial decision-making, before diving deeper into diverse topics including creativity and innovation, the digital economy, emerging economies and strategic management and internationalisation.

You’ll learn through techniques that include problem-based learning in the experiential based modules. These address challenges from the real world of business, giving you the opportunity to develop your own approach and come up with viable solutions.
 
Academics will support you through all taught sessions, as well as when you’re planning your independent study time. In your fourth year, you have a choice. You can write a dissertation, for which we’ll encourage you to follow your own interests related to international business and management, and answer a relevant research question. Or, you can be part of a student group undertaking a consultancy project on a real-world, client-based problem supported by the Faculty’s Business Clinic.
 
During the four years of your course, you’ll be assessed through exams, written assignments and reports, as well as individual and group presentations. Your tutors will explain in detail how the marking works before you tackle your assignment. That way you’ll fully understand what’s expected of you before you start.
