Employers today are increasingly looking for graduates with an international perspective. Based in our Sheffield Business School, on this course you’ll join a global community where business leaders, researchers and 7,000 business students come together to solve problems and make the world better. You’ll gain valuable connections and the experience you need to develop a dynamic career. How you learn All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. You’ll be taught by teachers who are active in their field. Industry specialists have helped to shape the design of your course – helping you graduate with the skills employers are looking for. Our teaching strategies are grounded in contemporary academic research, with a strong emphasis on addressing the practical challenges faced by global, cross-cultural organisations. The course can feed into specialist training on export management from the International Trade Centre. Key Themes In international business, organisations navigate different national contexts in a range of increasingly significant ways. You’ll explore international trade, cross-border investment, international entrepreneurship, global sourcing, offshoring and international marketing. These aspects are often associated with multinationals, but also involve smaller firms and entrepreneurial ventures. You’ll study the changing nature of the international business environment and how this impacts business processes, transactions and leadership. We’ll prepare you for the diversity and complexity which accompany a globally integrated and internationally focused business environment. You'll also acquire essential skills in project management, business analysis and leadership – learning how to present information and critically evaluate issues as you collaborate and problem-solve in teams. Applied learning We think the best way to learn something is to do it in the real world. This guides everything we do at Sheffield Business School. Work Placements You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you valuable work experience to prepare you for your future career – and allows you to graduate with an Applied Professional Diploma to add to your CV. Our students have recently gained work placements with national and international organisations, including Nissan, IBM, Microsoft and L’Oreal. Live Projects Through our partnerships with leading businesses and industry experts, we offer you valuable opportunities to gain hands-on work experience, build your network and acquire the essential skills demanded in the workplace. Alongside your course, you can also take part in specialist training on export management from the International Trade Centre. Networking Opportunities You can connect with employers through Careers Days and guest lectures – gaining valuable insights into the challenges that real-world businesses are facing. You may also be able to network with previous graduates who share their experiences while empathising with the stage you’re at in your career. We’ll also encourage you to take part in competitions, with prizes available for strong projects and inspirational students.
