Employers are looking for graduates who will not only survive, but develop and thrive in a global business environment. Our role is to help you become that person.

We realise that people do business in different ways, and for different reasons. But we also know that some common issues underpin all modern business ventures, such as sustainability, intercultural awareness, globalisation and innovation.

Our BSc (Hons) International Business Management degree focuses on these complex issues, and how you can manage them.

We understand that while you’re here to learn, you’re also laying the foundations for your future career. We want to help you enhance your employability, and we do that in three ways.

Firstly, we host regular visits from employers, guest speakers and business events – helping you build a network for when you graduate.

Throughout your International Business Management degree you’ll also benefit from lectures and seminars on CV preparation, job-hunting, obtaining work experience and more.

And finally, we work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they look for. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – so you can be sure you’re working on projects that reflect the needs and priorities of business.
