What Is an International Business Degree?

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.

Benefits of an International Business Degree

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 Degree Structure

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.

    ESSEC BBA : It's worth it

    Essec BBA is a well known program if you want to attend a business school. The teaching is qualitative as the teachers usually are reputed experts in their fields.
    As far as it concerns the campus, you cannot complain about the diversity and quality of high tech equipment or the comfortable auditoriums.
    Pretty much everything is made for you to feel at ease and evolve as an ESSEC student.
    One of the rare things I could point out is the school campus location which is pretty much isolated and a bit far from the centre of Paris, otherwise, you can take public transport, easy to use and practical for your everyday student life.

    Hello! I’m a highschool student interested to study at ESSEC for my further educations. The BBA program really caught my attention! I do have a question though. Will this degree help one get a decent job in France after graduating? Because from what I’ve read on the internet, ESSEC is good for it’s grand ecole, meanwhile the bachelors degree does not hold any worth if you don’t continue to study for it’s masters degree. Thank you, and sorry that my question might sound rude but I’m truly curious.

    ESSEC daily life

    ESSEC Business School is a French school located in the Parisian area (Cergy), far from the city center but accessed by several means of transport (buses, trains…). It is known for being one of the high-ranked business schools in Europe and for offering several programs.
    The one I chose is the Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) which is obtained after four years of studying : the two first years are based on a general curriculum followed by all the students, then the two last years combine professional experiences and courses chosen by the student itself depending on the subject he or she wants to specialize in. All of this goes with exchanges and internships to do during these academic years. The courses are diverse and different. The are many subjects such as Finance, Marketing, Accounting and Entrepreneurship, but also some subjects that are not directly related to business, just like history or languages. The school organizes often some business seminars and workshops.
    Concerning the extra-academic life, Cergy is an area full of students. There are several universities and engineering schools around, which makes a dynamic and fun place to live as a student. The student organizations in charge of other students’ social lives always prepare enjoyable events and unforgettable parties at cheap prices. ESSEC Business School has also this special feature to count a large number of international students among its community. The school has a pioneer spirit that goes together with a special open-mindedness and respect of others.
    Despite the inconveniences that can reflect the school (such as the location which is not really in the centre of Paris), it is still an experience that marked the majority – to not say all – of its students and alumni. I will for sure recommend it for others because it represents, in my opinion, the fundamentals of business studies and of students’ daily life.

    Experience abroad

    Thanks to ESSEC, I was able to travel a lot, whether for internships or university exchanges. The experiences abroad are for me very important. They are both rewarding and allow to meet people from different cultures.
