Course Description

Develop an in-depth understanding of the international business landscape.

The International Business with a Year Abroad and Integrated Foundation Year BSc (5 years) combines a three-year degree in International Business with a bespoke foundation year, and a year abroad at a partner institution. This route can provide you with a pathway to a bachelor's degree, if your prior education or English language proficiency does not enable you to apply for the BSc degree.

The BSc programme will equip you with the skills you need to analyse complex business issues and operate effectively in business organisations. In the third year of your degree, you will spend a year abroad at one of our international partner universities, where you'll benefit from exposure to a different cultural setting.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Examine the key strategic issues and challenges that organisations face in their efforts to compete in a globalised world.

Learn to apply theoretical concepts to case studies, and make reasoned and substantiated judgments.

Study topics such as: international competitive strategies, globalisation, regional studies, economics, information and communication technologies, data analytics, global supply chains, cross-cultural management, global sustainability and global marketing. Explore the institutional and social contexts that inform the execution of business.
