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 find AMBS to be a pleasant place to study and focus. Thanks to its new design, the building is bright, spacious and comfortable, offering various facilities such as a library, individual study boxes, computer cluster and many more. However, note that the access to the building is strictly reserved for students taking business modules.
What I like the most about the school is that is offers events and workshops with outsiders, giving you the opportunity to connect with people sharing the same interests. If you are interested in enterprise and entrepreneurship, make sure to check the Masood Enterprise Centre located in the Business School, the focal point of these areas at the University of Manchester.
AMBS has the diverse set of batch where the students get the opportunity to mingle with the students coming from different parts of the world. The group of faculty is also very diverse having different skill set. I’d always recommend it for studying masters in business analytics.
