About this course

Our BSc International Business degree concentrates on the links between major business functions and their role in the international business context. Study at a leading UK business school and build global management expertise for careers anywhere in the world. All organisations - from start-ups and SMEs to multinational firms - operate within, and are shaped by, rapidly changing international business dynamics.

This BSc International Business degree is a contemporary business studies course that focuses on the links between core business functions and their roles within the international business context. More than ever, business graduates are expected to demonstrate cultural sensitivity and an internationally transferable skill set. By covering key management disciplines from a global perspective, the course equips you for a successful career across a wide range of business and management roles, in any sector and from any geographical location.

Unlike many similar UK courses, our BSc International Business offers an optional six-month international semester in year two, as well as a year-long placement, study abroad, or Year in Enterprise in year three - providing valuable global experience. These practical opportunities, combined with strong academic foundations, significantly enhance employability, with our graduates highly sought-after across a wide range of business and management careers.
