Our International Business (Top-up) degree is ideal if you already have a foundation degree (FdA / FdSC), Higher National Diploma (HND), years 1 and 2 of an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject at a different institution, or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject.
On our top-up course you will explore emerging markets and different facets of international trade - learning why the globalisation of the world economy, the emergence of the multinational business enterprise and the diversity of national cultures are organised into a complex network.
You will develop a skill set founded on strategic management theory that will allow you to become an active participant in the strategy process that organisations deploy to ensure their long-term success. You will examine how globalisation affects business strategies and operations and analyse the impact of different environments on the international trade and explore foundational and contemporary theories of trade.
In the transformation capstone module, you will have the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge in a real-world setting, where you will develop strategic solutions to real-world business challenges.
