Introduction

Globalisation has enabled companies to become better connected, able to target international customers, develop a worldwide supply chain and attract a multicultural workforce. Our degree will prepare you to respond proactively and creatively to the opportunities and risks presented by international business and the challenges of the global business environment – from cultural, legal and economic perspectives.

Today, almost all companies involved in anything from the sale of physical goods to services such as finance, marketing and construction are affected by global events and competition. Exciting opportunities exist for graduates with a cross-cultural perspective who can operate with confidence, adapt and successfully negotiate increasingly complex internal and external global environments.

On our course, you’ll have a truly global learning experience, studying alongside staff and students from all over the world. We also try to provide as many opportunities as possible for you to hear direct from our alumni, who have established successful international careers in sectors as diverse as human resources, IT, law and finance.

You’ll be studying in the heart of London, one of the world’s major cities and international business hubs, and can also choose to spend a year living, studying and/or working abroad at one of our partner institutions in Europe, and Asia, Australia or the USA. This will give you valuable insight into another country’s learning experience and broader cultural environment.

A broad internationally-focused curriculum covers business essentials, such as finance, culture, marketing, logistics and operations. A large range of optional modules – covering everything from digital business to international financial management and international business law – means you can tailor your studies each year.

Real-world case studies, guest speakers and occasional site visits will help you relate your learning to practice – for example, when learning about international project management, previous students visited the Olympic Park, and the University’s Vice Chancellor gave a talk sharing experiences from his personal involvement with the Olympic Delivery Authority.
