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.
Bahcesehir University was a competitive and welcoming university for international students. My time spent there as a business student was fun as well as informative. I enjoyed my time at BAU and also in Istanbul both as an educational institution and second home. The teachers were very welcoming to international students and helpful in many regards.
The teaching principles were not outdated and modern teaching methods were used so as to give the students a clearer picture of their courses and studies. In general they had a very warm and welcoming approach to student problems and counseling, the best way they could.
Overall my experience as an international student at Bahcesehir University was uplifting and entertaining as well as informative and helpful for my future life. The exposure I received from living in Istanbul was essential for my growth and a person. I would recommend this university to students looking for both the eastern and western perspective of living and interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
