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.
I loved studying at Porto – European School as it is located in the best location – near the Atlantic Ocean! The city is amazing, having everything an international student could need: beautiful places and museums to visit, a lot of Erasmus+ students, many sports and leisure activities and the best seafood! ISAG Porto is a school where professors are your best friends explaining very well anything you need and helping you every time as well as the International Relations Coordinator – the best coordinator you could ever wish for! She responds quickly to your queries and does anything she can to help you with any problem you have. ISAG is a renowned business school in Portugal that every student interested in business and management would like to study. The school has partnerships with a large number of companies and organizations being able to provide a lot of job opportunities and voluntary work experiences. I stayed at the school hotel during my studies and it has very good conditions. Staying at the school dormitory helped me strengthen my relationships with my colleagues and it’s in the same building as the school so you can always be just 2 minutes in the seminar room.
I also liked the interesting subjects it has and the flexible schedule for meetings your needs. Definitely recommend this school to any future student!
The Master in Business Management at ISAG represents good training for those who want an overview of business operations. Taught by professors, many of them within the current business environment, they offer good insight into the classes for students. However, sometimes there are hired teachers who are unable to give correct feedback on students’ questions, revealing a need for greater verification of hiring.
The protocol part of internships is non-existent, so certain areas are not covered when chosen as a specialization aspect in the internship/thesis (example: financial management, HR management).
In the area of Marketing, it will be highlighted, with a good professor and with the assistance of several professionals from the same area present in the institution and who correctly accompany in the orientation of final works. Unfortunately, they frame professors as supervisors of final work who do not always know the area of specialization, making the whole experience of writing and presenting final work exhausting and disappointing.
The cost of diplomas and other documentation in the secretariat is exaggerated and irrelevant.
ISAG-The European Business School is a well-ranked school of higher education with a modern and solid educational environment. It offers the latest technologies to deepen the knowledge and to better understand the courses. The university has a good location next to a large mall where you can spend your spare time and do some shopping. The professors and students are all from different countries, which makes your experience a really international one. After studying here, you can become more open-minded and more skilled in marketing, management, and international economic relations. I recommend this school to everyone!
