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.
Apart from being one of the most renowned universities in Paris, La Sorbonne Nouvelle also offers an enjoyable student life. Indeed, students have the opportunity to be involved in many events, projects and organizations around different themes depending on the interests of each student. For instance, I joined AEGEE last year, which is a European organization which aims at involving young people at the European level, promoting European values, identity, and intercultural dialogue. I had the opportunity to improve my soft skills, my languages and gain more experience through the informal education provided by this organization, which is as valuable as the formal education. Being involved in the student life and socializing with others is very important as there’s a lot of international students that we are always glad to welcome. The only defect of my university is probably the administration which is not really reliable.
