Course Description
The world’s economy is becoming increasingly global and individuals who understand the international context of business and finance are in high demand.
By studying international business and finance, you will be able to consider how these disciplines are affected by globalisation and how businesses, markets, people and information interconnect across borders.
You will explore topics high on the agenda of international businesses and financial managers, such as:
- the international business environment
- international business strategy
- international trade
- international human resource management
- the pricing of securities in financial markets
- corporate finance and financial decision making
- business economics
- quantitative methods
- financial modelling
- portfolio analysis
We use real-world case studies to apply theory to business practice and develop your capacity to analyse statistics and make sound business decisions. Ethical business underpins all of our teaching, so you will graduate with an understanding of your responsibility to your investors, your staff and the wider world.
Your first year ensures you develop a solid foundation in accounting and finance for business, the business life-cycle and how multi-nationals manage their core business functions, such as marketing and HR. You’ll also benefit from additional training in numerical skills, to build your confidence in handling financial data sets.
In your final year, you have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice by completing an in depth, independent research project or dissertation. This gives you the chance to further develop vital employability skills in areas of research, project management and critical thinking.
This course is taught at Essex Business School in Southend. We champion responsible management and ethical business practices whilst giving you the tools for a successful career in business.
BSc International Business and Finance can also be taken with an optional study abroad or placement year.
