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.
Stepping into Obafemi Awolowo University for the very first time felt like stepping back in time to the colonial era in Nigeria. The buildings convey a bygone era, and as time went on, I came to understand that the system as a whole was trapped in the past rather than just the individual buildings. The teaching methods, the curriculum, and the decision-making process are all outdated and have refused to evolve with the world.
The campus is very beautiful but lacks maintenance, and the classrooms are ill-equipped to cater for the number of students.
The best part of my experience was meeting great people from different parts of the country, and I found joy in participating in the extracurricular activities in the faculty of law.
Generally, I would refrain from recommending this institution to anyone except those who are well aware of the facts and are willing to overlook the shortfalls.

It was an amazing learning environment with great minds across the departments and faculties. The dedication and commitment shown by the staffs are unmatched.

I think they can do better in terms of being intentional about imparting students with knowledge. Career prospects are as good as it gets in nigeria. And it is a school with one of the highest employability percents in the country
