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 really like facilities and staff! All of my lectures have been supportive and helpful throughout my time at university.
Both campus locations are great and have everything you could need, and the library facilities are great!
As a student at Sunderland University’s St Peter’s campus, my University experience is greatly enhanced by everything available to me at the university. The campus is located right by the river, which is great for reading by or great as a subject for the art students on campus. There are two Costa cafés on campus and one restaurant, one Costa is located in the Reg Vardy building for law, business and tourism building, there are plenty of seats and computers to study on, the other Costa and restaurant is located in the student hub building, the café is attached to a balcony overlooking the restaurant, both of which have great access to the river, and the food provided by the restaurant is hot and delicious. The student hub is an excellent resource for students, staff there can help students with most problems they might face, from technical issues and lost cards to even finding employment, there are also plenty of seats and computers provided there and even booths for a more private studying environment, and if you prefer quiet, you could visit the on campus library. The David Goldman building for technology is an excellent resource available for students, there are multiple lecture rooms with desks equipped with sleek and efficient computers that consume minimal desk space, and also an open plan area full of high spec computers, each with two monitors work faster than you usually can with only one. Overall the university is an incredibly place and a great learning environments, there are multiple benefits for students like helpful staff and the students Union, which aims to make the university a perfect place for students to study with everything available to them, however the university isn’t perfect. Although the university has many benefits available to any student that may need them, it isn’t very helpful at informing the students how to access that information. While you can always ask any lecturer or staff member and they would tell you straight away, this can be nerve-wracking for new students or those with anxiety.
View moreI study law and I have to say this university is amazing. We would’ve gone to a court case if the pandemic didn’t happen which would’ve been an amazing experience. The subject has a wide range of topics to cover which are all interesting and it gets you thinking about the law and what needs to be changed. The staff will help you understand your work and will sit with you if you need extra support. The university has lots of facilities including a gym. Overall this university is the place to be.
