Business Management (International Management) (BSc)

The BSc Business Management (International Management) programme examines the distinctive processes of management in multinational enterprises and reviews the influence of the international business context on such companies. This programme also covers regional patterns of business activity, with a particular emphasis on Japanese business and other rapidly developing business systems in East Asia.

The programme reflects the internationalisation of business activity and the growth of companies with global reach. The programme now offers students the opportunity to study abroad for one semester during their second year.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
