International Business

BSc (Hons) International Business

This programme prepares you for a career in management with an international emphasis including those careers which require a fluency in a second European language.

The international emphasis involves an examination of the cultural, political and economic structures in Europe which have a bearing on business operations as well as detailed study of aspects of the European Community. All these aspects of the programme are taught in the Department of Politics, History & International Relations and account for a quarter of the teaching on the degree programme.

As part of our exchange scheme you will be offered the opportunity to spend your third year studying in a European University. Alternatively, you could spend the third year on professional training in a business placement in the UK or abroad.

The teaching and assessment methods are similar across all our degree programmes and there is a coordinated approach to admissions.
