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 loved every aspect of the University. The area is gorgeous, surrounded by tall mountains and the seaside, it’s full of nature and there are lots of outdoor activities to do. The buildings are full of history and it feels like being in a fairy-tale. The level of encouragement and assistance from the staff makes it easier to find your path, your passion and dedicate to it. There is a good balance between you studying independently and the contact with your classmates and lecturers. The amount of societies and activities by the student’s union is so wide. There are so many interesting things you can get involved, from leisure to opportunities relating to your career path. I’ve loved how the university has found ways of giving internships and forming the work-skills of the students. Overall I’ve been amazed by the Welsh culture, their language art and literature are so rich that I’ve felt lucky to be part of this part of the world.
