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 studied International Business with French at the University of Greenwich, I woul d say it did a great job at giving me foundational expertise and opportunities such as my study abroad experience in France. This experience was one of the greatest I’ve ever had and has motivated me to achieve more than I thought possible.
On my third year at the University of Greenwich, I returned very disoriented as my module leaders did not seem to be on the same page at all, which became very difficult when writing my final dissertation.
The university is a very welcoming place from the start. I enjoy attending lectures and seminars because I feel intellectually stimulated by the content and sometimes even challenged. You can ask questions about the topics at any time during the lectures and/or seminars and the staff is always happy to help. The workload is okay and you can always contact the library for support whether this is academic support or subject-related support.
However, the technical parts of my course tend to be more dull but that’s to be expected and although they aren’t the most enjoyable part the lectures try to make them more interesting by sending readings in the form of podcasts or videos.
Overall, I would recommend this university 🙂
