Course Description

Prepare to be a future leader in an increasingly global business environment by gaining the knowledge, skills and perspective you need to succeed in management.

If you want to work for a company in an international market or you want to find out more about how organisations operate on the world stage, this degree course will provide you with the toolkit for your international journey.

You will benefit from real-life work experience throughout your studies, and learn from industry speakers, global examples and business simulations. Most of what you study will be anchored to today’s international business world – the top global companies and emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence and financial innovation. Your transformation from student to future business professional will begin from day one.

Gain an understanding of the business environment and develop fundamental management skills in marketing, people and organisations, and finance.

You will translate this management knowledge to the wider world and better understand the challenging international business environment.

Aspects such as globalisation, cultural variation and the challenges of different geographical, political and economic factors are addressed. You have the option to undertake a five-week work placement, or even a year-long placement, and you will carry out an original research project into a subject you select.
