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 university is friendly oriented school whereby student are free to interact to interact to each other regardless of their ethnic groups and religion and thus why would recommend any pupil from kenya to give it a try and he/she will not regret the decision they made in choosing TUM.

One thing I have come to learn is that it’s a bit slow compared to other places around Kenya, but still, things keep moving. There are different religions the Muslims and Christians in the majority but they live very peacefully.
Just a few things to work on and improve is the sports sector, which on the other hand I felt like the hot weather of the coastal makes people there not have the energy to participate in sports more due to high dehydration.
Security-wise it’s maximum the university is closer to the Mombasa city and the Indian Ocean, 10 mins drive to the famous FORT JESUS in the old town and the MAMA NGINA drive where you get to see ships docking at the MOMBASA PORT
