Course Description

We live and work in a world of rapid technological and societal change. To work in the international business environment you will need to understand the economic, political and social contexts of organisations. BSc International Business Management will help you develop the analytical, critical and employability skills you will need to succeed as a manager and leader.

Your first year will introduce basic concepts and tools - both qualitative and quantitative - for the study of management. You will also explore the global business environment and learn about marketing and finance. For your final unit you can choose to study management research skills or a language.

During your second year we will help you to deepen your understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis. This includes statistical analysis of survey data, interviews and observation in organisations.

All this will prepare you for the third year dissertation: a piece of individual research on a topic of your choosing. You will take other core units in management and business, plus optional units, during your second and final years.
