Globalisation strengthens the connection between companies from all over the world. It is time people understand the importance of international business.
International business degrees are shaped to give students practical knowledge about different business management practices from all over the world. In addition, candidates are prepared for business careers abroad or in organisations that are engaged in business on a global scale.
Moreover, international business is vital in order to understand different cultures and mindsets and ultimately become a global citizen.
A degree in International Business prepares you for a job in a culturally diverse business environment, which means that any graduate can benefit from opportunities in any country.
The advantage of an International Business course is that you are highly employable for most industries since the majority of skills acquired are transferable.
Candidates studying international business will also gain information and insight about the difficulties of starting and growing businesses from different countries, something which is of utmost importance for anyone who wants to make their business thrive.
International Business is usually a three-year commitment, depending on each university. Lately, there are institutions which offer the possibility of having a ‘sandwich course’, which basically enables the candidates to work abroad for one year in the industry, as part of their studies.
The purpose of the ‘sandwich course’ is to encourage students to step outside their comfort zone and work in a different culture and environment. In this way, they will understand other mentalities, as well as gain relevant working experience in the field.
Metropolitan University is definitely worth its price (around 60k Kč per year for Bachelor’s degree), as the moment you enter its main building on Strašnice, you are being embraced with warmth and hospitality.
It is a private university in Prague, Czech Republic, where you can choose to study in English or in the Czech language; although it does not provide its own accommodation, it will still make you feel at home thanks to welcoming professors and staff. They are always (always!) ready to help, to understand, to guide you through the learning process, as well as to get some Czech beer together after classes.
Their main campus has everything for disabled people so that they will not have to worry about anything apart from doing well during their exams;) Would I recommend it? Definitely.
I have spent one semester here thanks to the Erasmus exchange programme and I can honestly say that it was the greatest semester I have spent in the last 2 years as a student. The facilities are modern, friendly and can be easily used. The buildings of the university are placed in quiet and easily accessible places. The teachers are open-minded, kind, friendly, they do not behave in a superior manner. The university also pays attention to student life, they organize meetings and student afternoons. Not to forget all the opportunities Prague is giving you, starting with interesting events, conferences, workshops as well as entertainment.
