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.

View moreI’m a bachelor student in Economics and Business Administration in my 6th semester at SDU (University of Southern Denmark) in Kolding. Generally, what I’ve experienced from the university is the following: 1. The schools management is out of touch with its students. They absolutely love Multiple Choice exams throughout semesters in several courses, and a few courses have quite untraditional forms of exams and lots of peer feedback – one final course exam I had almost entirely relied on peer feedback. From my experience, none of the following is what any of the students attending SDU, that I’ve spoken to, want. 2. The level of education at lectures is extremely poor. I’ve completely stopped going to lectures to study all courses throughout my semesters on my own. To highlight a few cases: Once a professor spent half a lecture talking about his private life. Another time another professor spent 2.5 hours going through 3 pages of the course curriculum. Others just mock the students openly. I’ve found about 80-90% of lectures a waste of time. 3. I’ve experienced several internally made final assignments containing numerous typos and errors. For example numbers denominated in the wrong currency, their beloved multiple choices containing multiple of the same possible answers (and even missing out the correct answers). 4. This school loves, like literally loves, marketing. (Almost) everything is marketing-oriented. I literally went on exchange in my 5th semester just to have the opportunity to follow courses that weren’t marketing oriented and with proper lectures. To sum up, my time at SDU has been far from great. I’ve encountered two or three professors, that I’d say were good. If a friend of mine asked me if he/she should attend SDU, I would absolutely recommend them to look at other universities. If I hadn’t come this far in my bachelors degree, I’d probably have switched to another university.
