Course summary

Business today is global. Organisations need people who can understand markets, cultures and customers across borders — and make confident decisions in a fast-moving international environment. That’s what this course prepares you for.

You’ll explore how accounting, finance, marketing, logistics, operations and culture shape international business in the real world. One of the things that sets this course apart is compulsory language study in Year One and Year Two, with the option to continue in your final year. It’s a practical way to build your intercultural confidence and stand out in a competitive graduate market.

International experience is a core part of the course. If you choose the four-year placement route, you’ll have the opportunity to study and or work overseas. If you choose the three-year route, you can still gain international experience through an optional overseas internship or study abroad opportunity in the second half of Year Two. Whether you want to work in global management, consultancy, marketing, operations or business development, this course gives you the outlook, adaptability and experience to move forward with confidence.
