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 loved the University this far as a postgraduate student. My timetable is really flexible which allows time for assignments, group work etc. The teaching is also really involving and the lecturers are in touch with students. The lecturers are funny too! (could be specific to my course)
There is also easy access to all study materials. the school has many places to snack/eat in most buildings.
Great university and great course – Staff are helpful and very responsive to the needs of students. Supportive module assistance is provided for each course and the course itself is interesting and insightful.
View moreI have thoroughly enjoyed being a student here, however I have found that finding help, for many different issues, can be difficult. I have not necessarily found the support teams very responsive, especially during the first year. Academic tutors don’t always come across as approachable, however I have found that the quality of help when you speak to the right person is excellent.
The campus itself is a good environment, I have never found it a negative place to be, and the facilities are ones we are really lucky to have the opportunity to use. Other students have always been exceptionally friendly towards me, and I have found that the people on my course make me feel extremely positive.
In terms of the learning aspect, I have really enjoyed it. The course is so interesting and I love the way it’s taught. I do think we have a good balance of contact hours and independent study as well.
The University of Leicester has been an exciting and honestly life-changing experience for me so far. I have had a really good first year, made good friends and enjoyed my courses. I am studying law, and though I do live on campus this last year most of the courses have been online too, except for smaller sessions with professors. Student life on campus is very active and can be quite enjoyable. There is also a significant number of international students from Poland, Italy, other surrounding European countries and West African countries too. Also, I can comment that another really good thing about Leicester is the pace of lectures and courses, I feel like in all my classes so far, the going pace of learning can be appreciated by all students, in that it does not feel rushed or like the professors are trying to squeeze in an entire syllabus in a couple of weeks. Also, there are so many different societies (clubs) available to join as a first-year, which can enhance your whole Leicester experience. The film society, that I’m a part of, provides an opportunity to meet people with shared interests and develop friendships from there.
