International Business Management

With the world becoming ever more interlinked and globalised, sustaining business success in this turbulent time has become a major challenge. And if you aspire to become a business leader, it is vital that you have a clear understanding of the global market.  

In this course you will study business on an international scale, covering areas such as how to manage operations globally, how to lead a multi-cultural team and what it takes to expand a thriving business internationally.   

You’ll develop skills in managing people, projects, finance, HR, marketing and logistics across different cultures and environments. You will also gain a solid understanding of the international economy and explore global sustainability issues and ethics. 

The option of spending a semester in your second year at the University of Economics and Finance in Vietnam is a fantastic opportunity to gain a first-hand understanding of how culture affects business decisions and strategy.

From your induction and throughout your studies you’ll be invited to work with your peers on live business projects. You’ll also help local and international businesses tackle current business challenges.  

You will learn through a mixture of lectures, workshops, reflective practice and business simulations.  

In your first year you’ll cover all aspects of business management including business law, marketing principles and understanding financial information. You will learn from industry professionals and international brands how to succeed in global business.  

Real-world application is embedded throughout your learning, and you’ll analyse actual case studies, take part in work simulations and pitch your ideas to business experts.  

In your second year you’ll have the opportunity to study a semester abroad – for example in Vietnam. And in your final year you will work on live projects with local international businesses and brands.  

There are no exams – you’ll be assessed both individually and in group work through presentations, portfolios, essays and reports. 

Graduates from this course have gone on to work in a variety of industries from the Ministry of Defence to medical supplies, insurance, financial services and logistics.  

They have taken a wide range of positions including business accounts manager, major customer satisfaction supervisor, business analyst, transport analyst, assistant rental manager, and venture capital financial analyst.  

Throughout your course you’ll work with several international businesses and experience first-hand their working environment as well as the challenges they face.  

You will be in close contact with their representatives and form working relationships in the projects that you participate in.
