International Business (Hons) University of Kent

Overview

International business isn’t just about making money, or overseas expansion. It’s a complex interaction between global systems, organisational strategy, and human behaviour - and that’s exactly what you’ll explore on this course.

You’ll develop a strong foundation in core business areas such as management, marketing, accounting and finance, while applying them in a global context.

As global markets continue to shift, you’ll examine real-world challenges including geopolitics, trade tensions, climate change, sustainability, and rapid technological disruption. You’ll develop the insight to understand how global businesses respond, and how they should lead.

People matter in business. You’ll explore cross-cultural management, organisational behaviour, leadership, ethics and decision-making, building the confidence to work, lead and thrive in diverse global teams.

Learning is immersive and applied. In seminars and workshops, you’ll put theory into practice using real business data and case studies, guided by expert academics who are active researchers.

With a strong emphasis on digital innovation in a global context, this course is ideal if you’re aiming for a career at the intersection of international trade, digital transformation and sustainability.

And if your ambitions evolve, flexibility is built in. At the end of your first stage, you can transfer to another Kent business degree, such as marketing, business analytics or management, without losing momentum.
