What Is an International Business Degree?

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.

Benefits of an International Business Degree

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 Degree Structure

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.

    Great ways of teaching

    Pretty nice university, it has its own vibe inside of the building, and it is exactly such a place where you really want to learn something new. There are really comfortable classes, with all equipment for comfortable studying. I like the professors of this university because they teach us based on their own experience in professional areas and life. All knowledge which I got from university is practical and nothing extra.

    Nice atmosphere and cultural life

    I like SMK’s teachers and subjects, they’re really useful. Professors give us a lot of knowledge. It is really nice to study there, but the tuition fee is a bit high. But overall I like SMK. Studying there is awesome.

    SMK College: Room to Grow

    To start with, SMK is one of the most affordable universities in the Baltic States, with a tuition of 2,800 Euros. There are 3 campuses, one in Vilnius, Klaipeda and Kaunas. This review focuses on the Vilnius branch.
    It’s a small institution, in every sense of the word. With a student body of less than 10,000 students, a sole brick-and-mortar and only five courses in English, SMK is struggling to appeal to potential international and local students.
    Appearance-wise, it’s a sleek, modern 3-story building with glass windows and a professional ambiance.
    The college offers more Lithuanian courses which makes the ratio of local to international students about 10:4 easily. This makes it especially difficult for international students to feel at home. There’s also the little issue of racial segregation but that’s a story for another day.
    Lectures are clumsy but informative at best and repetitive and boring at worst. Course work is limited to presentations and not much else.
    The moodle system is easily used and accessible for assignments and schedules but the limited number of courses makes it difficult to explore one’s preferences in regards to learning.
    A massive lack of variety concerning school hosted extracurricular activities could also be a problem for people looking for flavor. SMK’s best outings are limited to clubs and bars with too much alcohol and not enough space for level headed talk, but that’s just my bias talking.
    Not to mention, the lack of a consistent sports team and/or sports related events really puts a damper on the school team spirit.

    Overall, SMK barely has a presence in Lithuania,talk less of the Baltic states. As an institution, it could do so much better for itself and its students.

    Hi Demania sorry I don't know how else to contact you but I'm not sure you can. You'll have to register for a few classes and pay for those classes but for now, most classes are on campus or hybrid. Not much else for remote learning. More information can be found via the student mentors who are on the website I believe. Good luck!
