Course summary

We live in a world where business operations are becoming increasingly global in scale. National boundaries now matter very little to decisions about where goods are made and services provided. In this course, you will learn what this means for today's business world. The course has economics at its core, covering micro and macroeconomics. However, it is much broader than a standalone economics degree. It analyses the major external factors affecting global business, globalisation, and applied policy. We have two International Business courses: a BSc and an MA. The main differences between these are at Levels 1 and 2. The MA option is for you if you are looking for even greater flexibility and if you have a strong interest in the arts and social science subjects. Along with your compulsory modules, you can study across a broad range including History, English, Geography, Politics, or Psychology. You'll also study one French module per semester in each year, either as a beginner or at an intensive level if you have previously studied the language at Higher/A-Level.
