For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.
International Business will provide you with advanced knowledge and skills in international business, cross-cultural management and entrepreneurship in an international context.
This programme is designed for students with talent, ambition and entrepreneurial flair, who would like to develop a career in international business development, international entrepreneurship or venture management.
It combines developing entrepreneurial skills for business start-up and management skills for the international market place.
You will learn about new venture creation and business start-up, business growth and be involved in international consultancy projects.
In semester 2 you will get the opportunity to carry out a consultancy market research project for companies to advise them on the international market place.
By the end of the programme you will be able to design and plan international strategies, identify opportunities and implement product development in cross cultural contexts.
You will be taught by staff renowned for creative research on the internationalisation of small and medium-sized businesses, multinational enterprises, and international economics. Some of our lecturers are able to talk about their own research or business ventures when explaining theories to help aid your understanding of international business and entrepreneurship.
You will have guest lectures from inspiring alumni who have used the degree to help them start their own business.
Classes are small to facilitate an interactive learning environment.

You will take nine core and two optional courses and submit a dissertation. Over the course of your degree, you will put theory into practice by combining your learning from the two main subject areas, international business and entrepreneurship, to develop a start–up plan for a business with international potential. You will then develop your understanding of how firms compete successfully in the international market place. Throughout the year you will develop practical, intellectual and transferable skills through a range of group and individual activities. You will also be involved in internationalisation consultancy projects with real companies.
Teaching will be blended; live classes delivered remotely (eg Zoom or Microsoft Teams), recorded lectures and face-to-face teaching. You will meet faculty, and with each other, both through our virtual learning environment and through face-to-face interactions. You will study on and off campus, as you do normally. The aim is to deliver as much synchronous face-to face teaching as we can, as well as for instance, classes in laboratories, seminars and guest lectures. At all times, we will put your health and safety first: this means closely following and reacting to national guidelines.
