We’ll help you develop as a person to achieve your potential through teaching you about international business and how it works. You’ll graduate with potential for employment in different businesses; this could be an organisation, the private or public sector, a charity or possibly your own business. We aim to give you the skills to apply your knowledge in a wide range of situations in any sector.

Following our international business pathway, you’ll develop specialist skills. You’ll develop an understanding of:

• The drivers and dimensions of international business development
• The environment of international business
• How international businesses could be affected
• How to manage a business in an international context
• How management practices and processes differ around the world.

You can also bring in modules from areas outside the international business pathway if you want to explore issues around a particular theme, such as sustainability or economics.

Work placements, industry links and internships

In addition to the business community projects, you’ll have fantastic opportunities to work closely with business and industry through placements, projects and internships.
