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.
Diversity and inclusion is one of the most prominent issues in India. Diversity and inclusion continues to be widely discussed, it has also become an important issue in education, specifically higher education institutions. Golden and Matlock (2007), assert that diversity and inclusion efforts must be a priority to higher education leaders including the President, Chancellor, Executive Officers and Governing Board, and that these leaders must advocate for clear and consistent communication around diversity, with the entire campus community, especially students. It’s important to note applying the addition of different, rich cultures on into the curriculum on campus will further increase the understanding of each student’s unique qualities. Aside from bringing students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds together, campuses have a duty to provide stimulating courses covering historical, cultural, and social bases of diversity and community.
This is the beauty of NIU, a diverse university that welcomes student from across the globe that study and interact regardless of cultural and religious belief in a conducive environment.
