Project Description

Students who aspire to pursue a management career in international, multinational, or global organisations might consider this degree in international business management. The goal of the BA/BSc (Hons) International Business Management degree is to give students the chance to gain a firm foundation in business processes and mechanics, the ability to function in a global setting, and a comprehensive awareness of the worldwide marketplace. Students who want to comprehend company operations in an international setting must possess skills from a variety of areas.

Businesses require people that understand multicultural communication, sustainability, and the globalised economy of today. It is a recipe for achievement. Learn more about these challenging problems and how to handle them in a contemporary, international company.

With courses that advance both your fundamental business management knowledge and a more specialised, focused grasp of the international elements of the topic, the BA/BSc (Hons) International Business Management degree is suitable for people with a worldwide view and international aspirations.

On the programmes, you’ll also get a thorough education in business management that will help you develop a solid foundation of abilities and a knowledge of how firms function.

As well as professional management practice – from accounting and economics to marketing, operations and organisational behaviour – you will be brought face-to-face with the challenges of managing people, finances, operations and customers.

Students can study a range of topics including business analysis, modern languages, finance, operations, human resources, management and marketing. It is expected that by the end of the course, students will have had the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to progress to a career in a professional business environment.

Course Length:  3 years / 4 years including Foundation year;
Start dates:  January / April / August / September;
