Overview

International Business (Hons) at Bath Spa University challenges you to explore and analyse how organisations operate in today’s globally connected world. You'll evaluate the opportunities and challenges that businesses face across borders, from cultural differences to shifting global trends. Throughout your studies, you'll develop a clear understanding of how international environments shape business decisions.

On our International Business course, you’ll develop the core skills you need to excel in all kinds of businesses, and start to build a clear picture of exactly where those skills could take you. You'll build a strong foundation in business and management while developing specialist insight into global markets, cross‑cultural management and international strategy.

Careers

An International Business degree can prepare you for a career in organisations that operate across borders, either internationally or globally.

Due to the varied content and the opportunity to choose optional modules, you can work towards a professional future in certain parts of an organisation or develop skills and knowledge relating to multiple business functions.

At the same time, the business and management content of the course will also prepare you for careers in organisations which operate on a local, regional or national level, giving you flexibility in shaping your future.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

In your first year, you'll build a strong foundation in understanding how businesses and global markets work, exploring how organisations make decisions in different political, economic and cultural environments. You’ll be introduced to key business functions, economic and financial considerations and the basics of analytics, helping you gain confidence in navigating the international landscape.
In your second year, you'll develop your understanding of how to communicate across cultures. You'll explore how to manage international teams and learn about the legal international landscape that determines human rights, an important consideration in any international or global business.
In your final year, you'll deepen your expertise by examining ethical, sustainable and strategic management in global organisations. There'll be the opportunity to gain real-life experience through a summer placement.
