International Business

This programme explores the complexity and diversity of business in an increasingly interconnected world and is designed to reflect the increased emphasis on the multidisciplinary and international perspective arising from today's market developments as well as an employers' expectation to integrate the theoretical knowledge and applied skills in training modern working force.

This programme explores the complexity and diversity of business in an increasingly interconnected world. You will engage in critical analysis of international business and investigate the international context of business today. Drawing on current University of Greenwich research and international academic theory, there is a strong emphasis on real-life case studies and professional management application. Overall there is a strong focus on managerial decision making.

This programme will help you to develop skills in assessing the global environment for business, identifying new international business opportunities and analysing international markets and industries. If you do not have a first degree in business, this programme will provide you with a good grounding in business management, followed by specialised international business courses, project and guided internship. A particular feature of the programme is commercial relevance and employability, designed to enhance knowledge and skills particularly sought by employers.

This programme intends not only to train minds but also to develop the range of intellectual and practical skills in students who can then become effective specialists in the global knowledge economy with traditional boundaries between sectors breaking down.
