International Business
International business is the study of how organisations operate across borders, examining the commercial, cultural, legal, and political differences between countries that shape the way global businesses function. It prepares graduates to work effectively in the multinational organisations, international consultancies, and globally trading companies that drive and are shaped by economic interdependence. A programme that delivers this education across multiple countries, in multiple academic environments, goes considerably further than one delivered in a single location.
At Sheffield Hallam University, this three-year full-time programme is structured as a European Partnership Programme, with study taking place in Sheffield, Paris, and Barcelona. You will be studying international business in the genuinely international environment that the subject demands, experiencing different academic cultures, building a network across three countries, and developing the cultural adaptability that employers in multinational companies consistently value. The programme is delivered in partnership with AACSB-accredited schools in Paris and Barcelona, and you graduate with a triple degree that reflects the academic rigour of all three institutions.
The combination of business knowledge and real cultural immersion gives graduates a profile that is genuinely distinctive in a competitive graduate market. With a typical entry tariff of 120 UCAS points, the programme is accessible to students ready for this kind of international commitment.
Graduates from this programme are well placed across a wide range of international business careers. Multinational companies, international start-ups, consultancy firms, trade organisations, financial services with global operations, and government departments with international remits are all natural destinations. The combination of academic qualification across three countries and the personal experience of living and studying in three different European cities makes these graduates particularly attractive to employers seeking genuinely internationally minded professionals.
