Overview

You’ll develop your understanding of global business and discover the essentials of business, marketing, and intercultural communication. You’ll discover the importance of global communication and intercultural awareness for today’s individuals and businesses. 

Your intercultural training in Global Communication with Business Management with a Year Abroad (Hons) at University of East Anglia will invite you to challenge yourself and the cultural stereotypes that create barriers to successful communication. You’ll develop your understanding of how global businesses manage workforces with widely differing languages, values, and business practices. You’ll then have the chance to put your skills to the test by spending an optional semester abroad. You can also study a language, such as Arabic, BSL, Chinese or German, subject to availability. On this version of the course, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to spend your third year studying abroad at one of our partner institutions across the globe. 

Year Abroad

This four-year version of the course gives you the opportunity to spend the third year of your degree studying with one of UEA's many partner institutions across the globe, which offers teaching in your subject and in English. Destinations range from Japan to Hong Kong, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and Canada and the USA. 

Studying Abroad gives you the opportunity to broaden your academic and social horizons, giving you opportunities to develop your confidence and communication skills, while bringing a unique element to your CV that will help you stand out to prospective employers. Availability at our partner institutions does vary from year to year and we always recommend you bring an open mind about your destination preference. You'll also need to meet certain academic progression requirements (scoring an aggregate of 55% in your first- and second-year assessments). If for this or for any other reason you were to decide you were unable to spend your third year abroad, you can transfer to a three-year version of your degree at any time.
