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 University is literally in the heart of the city centre, with every facility at a walking distance. Dundee being the fourth biggest city of Scotland it is highly welcoming to international students and generally people from all walks of life.
The busy mornings and quiet nights were the highlight for me. The University has a huge Student Union, run by the students themselves, which is perfect for all the party people and caters to students for all types of problems as well.
Lastly, University of Dundee is really generous with scholarships and bursaries. Almost all international students I interacted with had some sort of an award to finance their tuition fee.

The main campus of the University is situated just 10 minutes away from the center of the city. There are accommodation sites for first-year students very close to the main campus as well.
