BSc International Business with a Year Abroad
About this course
International business examines how organisations operate, compete, and succeed in a world characterised by globalisation, cultural diversity, and complex regulatory environments. It combines the foundational disciplines of management and business with the specific knowledge and perspectives needed to navigate international markets: how trade works, how multinational companies are structured and managed, how different national cultures affect business practice, and how geopolitical and economic forces shape the environment in which international businesses operate. At Kent, this BSc International Business appeals to those who are excited by the global nature of business and motivated by the cultural context of enterprise. The programme develops your understanding of international business strategy, cross-cultural management, global finance, and the institutional frameworks governing international trade, alongside the analytical and communication skills that employers in international roles consistently value. The degree includes a year abroad, which the title specifies, giving you the opportunity to study at one of Kent's partner universities overseas and to experience international business education in a genuinely international setting. The programme runs over four years full-time, with a typical entry tariff of 120 points. Graduates of international business programmes with a year abroad are well placed for careers in multinational companies, international consultancy, export and import, logistics, finance, and business development. The combination of academic grounding and international study experience is valued by employers who need professionals who can work effectively across national boundaries. Many graduates go on to postgraduate study in international business, management, or MBA programmes, building on the global perspective the undergraduate degree has developed.
