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.
The people that are supposed to help you at IPAG are not going to do it, and if they do it would take as long as they want it to take, for example, I tried to renew my visa with the university because they told me like that was easier and it took 8 months in the process, my visa got expired, I almost got kicked out of the country and I ended up doing the process myself.
Besides this, I just graduated this year on august and as well as all my classmates we have been trying to get our certificates and our grades in order to start to work or to continue our postgraduate studies but they just don’t want to give us all this.
IPAG is not a university with organization and neither who cares about their students, just about your money.
If you are foreign you will get to know people from all the world and you will have a good experience but you can do this also at any other university in europe and you would be way more taken in count.
