Business - International Business with or without Advanced Practice

This course will equip you with a deep understanding of the macro and micro contexts of international business, helping you develop and integrate international business theory, while building the skills needed to apply in practice. You will gain expert knowledge of political, social, and cultural aspects of business, focusing on the changing global landscape, and techniques to manage business through uncertain times.



With an Advanced Practice option you will gain experience working on an international business project brief. You can specialise further in Data Analytics or Human Resource Management, which will be reflected in your degree title.
