Mercy College

What you'll study

The programme combines a foundation in core business disciplines with specialised international modules and practical learning. Early study covers essential topics such as financial accounting, managerial accounting, corporate finance, principles of marketing, organisational behaviour, micro- and macroeconomics, business law and business statistics. From there you move into internationally focused courses including international business strategy, global marketing, international finance and trade, cross-cultural management, international supply chain and logistics, and comparative business systems.

Students also take research and skills-based modules such as business analytics, market research, negotiation and intercultural communication. Language study is encouraged to enhance employability, and elective options permit concentration in areas such as international marketing, global finance, entrepreneurship, or sustainable business. The programme typically concludes with a capstone project or consultancy-style practicum and offers opportunities for internships and study-abroad terms to gain practical, real-world experience.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold a recognised secondary school qualification equivalent to a US high school diploma. Admissions consider academic record, personal statement and letters of recommendation. Suitable preparation includes study of mathematics and courses in business, economics or languages where available. Mature applicants with relevant work experience are welcomed and considered through a contextual admissions process.

International applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through recognised tests or prior study in English-language institutions if required. Additional requirements may include an interview or portfolio of relevant experience for particular pathways such as internships or honours projects.

Career prospects

Graduates enter a wide range of careers in multinational corporations, SMEs engaged in export/import, financial services, consulting firms, logistics and supply chain companies, international NGOs and government trade agencies. Typical roles include international marketing coordinator, export manager, supply chain analyst, international business development manager, management consultant, financial analyst with an international remit, and programme officer in international development.

The degree also provides a solid foundation for postgraduate study in business administration, international business, finance or related disciplines, and supports entrepreneurial graduates who wish to launch ventures with global ambitions.
