What International Business offers
Wherever your interest in business lies, whether it’s marketing and sales, organisations and people, or supply chain and operations management, this international business programme prepares you to be a manager in the industry. Throughout your studies, you have a personal coach helping you design your study path and identify what you need to achieve your ambitions. Your personal growth is important to becoming a competent professional in international business management and so as to develop your skills and interests, you determine part of the programme yourself. You select your own elective subjects, minors, internship and time spent abroad. And you choose the subject of your graduation project that will launch your international business management career.
International business in practice
You work on assignments from real companies in each year of the course, collaborating in small groups and drawing on the skills and experience of lecturers and professionals in international business. This method of working (Design-Based Education) means you learn to draw on feedback to adapt your ideas and become more flexible, while also developing your teamwork and leadership skills – essential qualities that you’ll need when working in international business management. It means you get hands-on experience of what it’s like to research and understand a company’s business, develop solutions based on marketing, finance or logistics principles and writing, for instance, export plans.
