The International Business Economics BSc prepares students to understand global business processes and the operations of multinational companies. If you are aspiring to an international business career, interested in corporate solutions to global economic challenges, open to inter-cultural collaboration, or looking to start your own successful business, then look no further.
During the programme, you will learn methods for analysing international market trends, gain insight into the mechanisms of the global market, and acquire fundamental knowledge of international trade, logistics, finance, management, and marketing.
As the programme looks at distinct business cultures of different countries and regions, successful graduates are also able to navigate multicultural environments with confidence and work effectively in international teams, finding employment in international companies, multinational corporations, and organisations engaged in foreign trade.
This programme offers double-degree opportunities with the following partner universities:
In recent years, interest in international business and economic studies has been steadily increasing, leading to a dynamic rise in enrolment on this programme. This is almost certainly because a degree in International Business Economics provides competitive knowledge and inter-cultural skills that can be applied in an international environment, and it also offers you the opportunity to enhance your language skills, gaining a high level of professional knowledge in foreign languages, an essential tool for building international business relationships.
Upon completing the programme, you will receive a degree certifying your qualification as an Economist in International Business Economics.
The programme is taught at our city centre campus and is also offered full-time in English.
The International Business Economics programme combines specialised global economic knowledge on areas including economic policy, global markets, trade in mega-regions, and global tendering, with international business and cultural competencies, such as international transactions, international freight forwarding, business communication, and inter-cultural relations. This is all based upon the general economic and business knowledge expected of economists, including marketing, accounting, corporate finance, entrepreneurship and innovation, corporate strategy, and sustainability, all of which will enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of corporate challenges you are likely to face in the future.
