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 professors of this university are not motivated, which demotivates the students and takes away their desire to learn. The treatment is very impersonal since the classes are overcrowded and it is not that the teachers care about the academic (or general) well-being of the students. The only good thing about this university is the cafeteria and its staff, which at least brightens your day after such a boring day. It would be nice if they considered joining the campuses in the same place, and promoting university life through activities or clubs.
View moreThe University of Las Palmas has many flaws in my opinion. At the teaching level, it is terrible, very poorly prepared staff who limit themselves to reading the presentations. In addition, the classes are overcrowded and it is very difficult to have personal and academic treatment. As for university life, it is very difficult to meet people because the campuses are very scattered and do not carry out activities to promote the atmosphere. The facilities leave much to be desired, being very poorly equipped. In general, I would not recommend this university.
