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 have dyscalculia which makes it difficult for me to excel in modules relating to numbers. At Warwick, if you fail one core module, you won’t receive your degree, you are not even allowed the opportunity to graduate with your peers. It’s really sad and frustrating as this is not public knowledge. I had no idea of this rule until I started my studies at Warwick. 12 months of study, £19000 student loan and all my savings and efforts just went down the drain because I failed ONE module
View moreWarwick Business School is a very well organised department with quality teaching and a wide range of modules.
However they should improve their student support system as well as communication between teachers, tutors and students.
WBS should also focus on including more modules about gender equality/racial equality in the workplace.
