About this course

Business and management with study abroad is a degree that combines rigorous academic training in how organisations work with an international dimension that reflects the global nature of modern business. Management education addresses strategy, marketing, finance, operations, and human resources, developing the analytical and practical capabilities that business leadership roles require. Adding a study abroad year transforms the experience, giving you direct immersion in a different business culture, educational system, and social environment that broadens your perspective in ways that classroom teaching alone cannot achieve.

At the University of Bristol, this four-year full-time programme includes both a foundation year and an overseas study component. The foundation year provides a solid academic preparation before the main degree begins. The study abroad element reflects Bristol's understanding that the academic content of a business degree is enriched by the global context in which modern business operates, and the programme is designed to integrate that international experience as a meaningful academic component rather than an optional extra.

Bristol's business school has strong connections to a wide range of organisations and a reputation for producing graduates who are both analytically capable and practically aware.

You will study the core disciplines of business and management alongside the cross-cultural and international dimensions of contemporary business, developing both technical knowledge and the global awareness that employers in multinational and internationally minded organisations value.

Graduates go on to careers in management, finance, marketing, consulting, operations, entrepreneurship, and international business across every sector of the economy. The international experience embedded in the degree is a distinctive feature that employers recognise. Postgraduate study in business, management, or a related specialist field is an option for those wishing to deepen their expertise.

This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city β€” the city is a brilliant st…
