What you'll study

The Bachelor in International Business provides a broad business education combined with focused coursework on the global dimension of commerce. Core business modules typically include accounting, micro‑ and macro‑economics, finance, organisational behaviour, operations management and business law. International specialisms emphasise international trade and policy, global marketing, cross‑cultural management, international finance and currency markets, global supply chain and logistics, and comparative international business strategy.

Students also take quantitative and research methods, elective courses in regional studies and languages, and experiential learning elements such as internships, consulting projects and a capstone course. Typical module formats include lectures, case studies, team projects and simulations; students are commonly encouraged to pursue a foreign language and to participate in study abroad or exchange programmes to build practical cross‑cultural skills.

Entry requirements

Admission is at the undergraduate level and usually requires a completed secondary school qualification equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma or recognised national secondary credential, along with a competitive academic record. International applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English, typically through recognised tests or equivalent qualifications, unless exempt. Universities and colleges often recommend prior study in mathematics or economics and value extracurricular experience such as internships, community involvement or leadership roles. Specific entry criteria (including minimum grades and any standardised testing policies) should be confirmed with the university’s admissions office.

Career prospects

Graduates of this programme are prepared for careers that span the private, public and non‑profit sectors where international knowledge and cross‑border skills are required. Common roles include international marketing or sales manager, trade compliance analyst, global supply chain or logistics coordinator, export/import manager, management consultant focusing on international expansion, and financial analyst with a focus on multinational operations.

Alumni typically find opportunities with multinational corporations, regional headquarters, banks and financial services firms, logistics and freight companies, trade associations, government trade agencies and international development organisations. The degree also provides a foundation for further study in business, law or specialised master’s programmes in international business, finance or supply‑chain management.
