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.
Symbiosis international university although having its main branch in Pune has divided itself into a few other branches across the country affiliated to it. I studied in their Law school named Symbios Law school, Noida. While the university is well established and has a strong student base and a cool environment, my school on the other hand was new ( I was part of the 3rd batch that graduated). Having said that we followed an international model of curriculum and slowly even moved towards open book/ no time or place-bound examinations. They were open to students harnessing their creative side and encouraged competitions and performances. The faculty was quite shuffled, some were incredibly good, overqualified even and some were just not fitting in. However I think on the whole the university maintained a good relationship with its students, they had an international standards curriculum, and good tuition but could have had better faculty. After my graduation, the law school has undergone many changes from campus to curriculum, and I’ve heard that now it’s everything that my batch wanted it to be.
