Specifically designed for students who may have already obtained a HND or equivalent qualification, this International Business degree allows you to top up to a full bachelor degree in less than year.
The BA (Hons) International Business degree gives focus to the increasingly globalised world we live in. Having a good understanding of the key aspects of doing business on a global scale will certainly give you an advantage in the workplace. During your studies, you will gain a better understanding of how international trade works and learn about the different issues facing global business, including how this might affect the traditional business management functions such as marketing, human resources and purchasing and supply.
During this one year International Business course, you will examine core aspects of business such as business strategy and communication in a global context, whilst also getting the chance to conduct an investigation into a business problem that allows you to apply your business acumen to a real life scenario.
As part of the International Business course you will also undertake a specialist module on international culture and communication which will allow you to explore the role culture plays in shaping organisational communication.
Core business modules:
