BA International Communication and International Business
About this course
International communication and international business is a degree that takes seriously the reality that global commerce depends on the ability to communicate effectively across cultural, linguistic, and institutional boundaries. International communication examines how meaning is made and transmitted across different cultural contexts, how language, media, and professional practice vary between nations, and what skills are needed to communicate with credibility and clarity in international environments. International business provides the commercial and strategic frameworks for understanding how organisations operate and compete across borders, addressing trade, supply chains, market entry, and cross-cultural management. At the University of Westminster, this part-time programme is designed to develop the specific combination of communication capability and business knowledge that international roles require. You will engage with key contemporary issues in international business, including equality and sustainability, which reflects an increasing awareness that responsible business practice matters as much as commercial effectiveness. The curriculum develops your understanding of international business alongside your ability to communicate in the variety of business contexts that global work involves, from negotiation and presentation to written communication and intercultural dialogue. Westminster's location in London, one of the world's most international cities, provides a rich environment for this kind of study. You will develop business knowledge, cross-cultural communication skills, and the professional awareness needed to work effectively in internationally oriented organisations. Graduates pursue careers in international business, marketing, communications, public relations, corporate affairs, and roles in organisations with significant cross-border operations. Postgraduate study in international business, communication, or management is a natural continuation for those wishing to develop specialist expertise.
