Course summary

The foundation year of the programme provides individuals with non-standard entrance requirements with thorough and supportive academic preparation for successful study in the Department of Business. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, students may proceed to the BSc Global Management and International Business. The foundation year has been carefully designed to build your confidence, develop essential academic and study skills, and provide the subject-specific knowledge required for successful study in the associated degree programme. The total duration of the programme with a foundation year is four years full-time. The bachelor programme is designed to form managers and business people with a set of capabilities that enable them to successfully manage a business in a global context. A distinctive feature of this Programme is its global approach mixed with UK and European experiential learning, which is reflected in our non-compulsory residential schools around Kent, London, Rome and/or Paris. Furthermore, it aims to provide valuable employability skills with a problem-based, practice-focused approach that clearly evaluates learning as a life-long attitude. With a clear and specific attitude towards knowledge that evaluates the importance of the human factor in every single aspect of management (from HR to strategy, from organisational behaviour to marketing), the BSc (Hons) Global Management and International Business offer future professionals for competitive global markets, that know how to embrace change and uncertainty to innovate. The programme offers a solid basis for all students in their professional development, providing them with a clear understanding of the career path they might choose. Teaching and learning focus on business management within a global approach, with a specific emphasis on developing core employability skills such as teamwork, coach-ability, problem-solving and a deep understanding of the latest research and its practical implications. The contemporary and global focus in the curriculum enhances their understanding of the world and consequently gives them more work-related opportunities. Internships and/or work experience are encouraged and supported through the Student Office, which provides information and helps students in finding the right placement, during or after the completion of the Degree. Speakers and influential professionals from other countries will also be invited to explain in practical detail their job and mentor students with a specific interest in that area. It is important to stress that placement and internship opportunities are only facilitated and not mandatory, and may differ from one another in terms of length, year of access, commitment and skills required, according to specific employers’ conditions. In particular, our “Managing the Global Challenge” initiative will provide students with a hands-on opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the previous years and link it to their final dissertation. Another distinctive feature of the programme is its multicultural diversity, not only expressed in the academic offer, but also in its delivery by international academic staff with solid experience in their subject areas. This key aspect will assure diversity and globalisation in learning and teaching styles and techniques, as well as up-to-date, practical influences in research areas.
