Bachelor of Science (Honours) - International Business and Management (With Placement Year) (NNC2)

Develop the skills you need to manage business operations in the global economy.

You’ll explore key international corporate and economic issues, and get the tools and commercial insight you need to launch a managerial career anywhere in the world, or pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.

The programme examines topics such as:

• how multinationals operate in emerging economies • implications of Brexit for European business and management • challenges of managing across cultures • fundamentals of strategic management • business law and ethics

You can tailor your studies to emerging areas of interest or career aspirations through a range of optional modules in areas such as marketing, finance and human resource management.

A sandwich placement year, taken in year three of the programme, enables you to develop your skills and professional confidence - and boosts your employability on graduation.

You’ll build a broad foundation of knowledge on all aspects of business and management, ensuring you graduate as a well-rounded professional with excellent commercial awareness and an invaluable global perspective.
