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.
When I started looking at different colleges and Universities to attend, I found myself asking a very important question. What kind of place do I want to be in during the most important 4 years of transition in my life? The best thing about SLU is that it really allowed me to discover myself and helped put me on the right track to becoming the man I hope to be one day. There’s a lot of good schools around the world the offer high level of education but a great schools does that while also teaching you about the things in life that you can’t ever learn in the classroom. The St. Lawrence University community is one like no other. Canton is not New York City but being located in the middle of nowhere helps you build amazing connections with students and professors like no other. Alumni’s are very engaging and are always trying to help you build your career. SLU is not perfect but regardless of any hardships you might find yourself going through, the hardest one each year will always be saying goodbye to your SLU family in May.
