"I am from a small town so being able to meet such a diversity of people has been a brilliant experience for me."

It is recognised that business is becoming increasingly international and this trend towards a ‘global village’ is certain to continue. The trend is generating a demand for people who have knowledge of international business and an ability to communicate and succeed in a global market environment.

The International Business Management course provides you with a thorough business education and a clear international focus on all areas of business.

In the first year, you study the same modules as other business students. However, during the next two years, you study subjects with a specific international dimension such as International Marketing or International Human Resource Management, which complement specialist modules such as Globalisation and International Institutions, alongside some of the general business modules. The course allows you to study functional areas of business in international contexts and you can select additional international modules as options. The optional work placement year may be spent overseas if a suitable placement can be obtained.

Graduates will be well equipped for management positions in areas such as export, global marketing and international logistics but the skills you will develop mean that a career with overseas companies, or any company with an international perspective, would be within your grasp.
