Course Description

This degree enables students to gain an understanding of the theory and practice of both business management and international relations, drawing on teaching and research expertise from both the Business School and the Department of Social Sciences.

The course combines study of the fundamentals of both subjects with the opportunity to focus on individual areas of interest through specialist option modules. Students will also develop their employability and personal self-awareness throughout the course.

An integral part of the programme is the opportunity to undertake a work placement, and in the final year of study, students have the opportunity to complete an interdisciplinary dissertation.

Graduates of this course will have a broad and interdisciplinary education, equipping them for a wide range of careers, combining knowledge of the practices of business and management, with an understanding of the different perspectives on International Relations and their application.
