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 courses at Saint Louis University in Madrid were interesting and intellectually stimulating. The professors were well-informed and friendly. The campus featured a supportive environment that fostered academic and personal development With a fostering environment. For an all-encompassing educational experience, I highly recommend it.
View moreSaint Louis University is a double campus university, with the main campus in Missouri, US, and one in the center of Madrid, Spain. My experience in Spain’s capital began in January 2018, when I transferred from UAB. The campus is not the usual huge American kind, it is small but it has everything needed at walking distance. The cafeteria is great and cozy, and there are always students to chat with. Classes aren’t huge because usually, the people attending courses are about 20, which gives teachers the opportunity and duty to create personal relationships with students. For me, I got to meet not only students from all over the world with different points of view on almost every aspect discussed during classes but also amazing professors that you could tell loved their job, making it a great overall experience!
