Program Overview

Multi-national organisations need experts who have international economic knowledge, allowing them to develop and implement effective business strategies. You gain a broad understanding of key business concepts including digital transformation, sustainability, enterprise, emerging technologies, and skills applicable to real-world settings.

As you progress through the course you explore your own interests and more advanced topics within international business, developing an awareness of your own responsibility as a future leader.

Employers are increasingly looking for work-ready graduates with an in-depth understanding of the global economy, the role of business in society and the skills to operate in an international business environment. This course equips you with a solid grounding in business in a global context.
