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.
Law is very content heavy compared to other degrees. In order to complete this degree, you need to be open to challenges and highly motivated. The professors have been supportive throughout the degree. The university itself provides different opportunities to engage within the legal community and explore your options. Although it has been a huge struggle I wouldn’t change a thing!
View moreOne thing I likes about this course were the mandatory courses. These were very specific to media, communications and journalism, and I found them very interesting. The range of theories and topics covered were very enlightening from a sociological angle. One particular course titled ‘writing news’ was very enjoyable. In a group, we had to write a produce two newspaper articles into a broader newspaper template that represented our group’s aims and interests. One thing I didn’t like about this course overall were the limited course options we could choose from to make up our credits. Some courses were offered on the enrolment selection, however, when you went to select them they were only available to students doing a particular degree e.g., politics. This was very disheartening as it meant some of the courses I initially had hoped to do were not available to me, so I felt a little frustrated that they were even displayed as an option. The reality was that there were a very limited number, of course, we could actually choose and I would have appreciated it if this was made more transparent from the beginning. Overall, however, I would say I am quite happy with the majority of the aspects of this course.
View moreDear All,
I wish to start this review by stating this personal opinion that time at a University is not only related to the course the classes and the university but a lot of it depends on the city and the people. It was my immense fortune to have lived and experienced the life at Glasgow. The official statement of the city of Glasgow is “People make Glasgow”. and nothing can be more apt.
The University is not only breathtaking but also has a great history attached to it. I studied my Masters in Law in the subject of Intellectual Property in Digital Economy. I used to have lectures/seminars thrice in a week and all of it was discussions and making sure that you open up rather than just read the course materials. The Professors are stalwarts in their respective fields and it is a matter of pride to be learning from them. The course material includes a lot of reading material which gets uploaded on the portal for you to go through. Apart from this, the University has a beautiful and huge library which can also be accessed online with your student id. The evaluation may be done in different forms including but not limited to written subjective examination, article writing, presentation etc. Most importantly the evaluation is done as per the dissertation which is a 15000-word original piece which you have to identify, research and submit. The University is very particular with the timeline of submissions and as such no lacks are usually entertained. However, the staff and the professors and teachers at the University are wonderfully co-operative and as such will be there to help you out at any point.
I took accommodation in the PG living space at the Uni which also helped me make a lot of friends. Furthermore, the University also has several sports and cultural clubs my favourites were the Cricket Club and the Bollywood Society. It has student Unions and has something for everyone including the University club where you can go and shoot some pool. This University has its own beer which you can sip during various events which happen across the uni during the year.
Apart from the classes, the University life changes you in a manner that you may have never imagined. During my time I took some part-time works in an Indian Restaurant which not only helped me with my exposure but also helped me earn and save enough to make sure that I travelled some of Europe and the United Kingdom. This is my sincere and most humble request that any University you go you must make sure that you travel with a backpack live in hostels and make sure to fund this by your own money. Make sure to use your time at the university and ensure that you make the most of it, use it to study, travel, learn and enjoy.
