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.
TUS is a good college overall. I found the responsiveness of lectures and staff to be very positive and timely. The course structure was well set out and very accommodating for a part time course with most people on the course working full time also.
The lecturers were very helpful and it felt that they really cared about how everyone was doing and they often spoke about their personal work experiences. This stood out, as learning new things can be easily understood when they are related back to real life situations.
The course was entirely online but we were forced to engage and answer questions throughout. This was very good as it encouraged us to speak about work and the course materials.
My overall experience was very good, organised college in terms of receiving materials, exam results and individual feedback. Time management of lectures also very good.
Unfortunately due to where I was living, I could not attend the college campus but I received weekly emails about the various events and activities that were held on campus.
I would recommend this University to a friend.
