International Business Management (Sandwich Year)

This course aims to develop students' knowledge and skills across a broad range of management disciplines, with a focus on the development of an accurate understanding of different international business contexts and the enhancement of cross-cultural understanding.

It is designed to reflect the changes in a modern business environment where businesses increasingly operate in a global market place, distributing products and services across nations and continents. Now more than ever, employers seek graduates with experience of countries and cultures other than their own. The optional sandwich year provides an opportunity to experience what it is like to study and learn in a different country, develop students' language skills and potentially improve their career prospects (*study abroad opportunities are subject to avaiability, a competitive application process, meeting applicable visa requirements, and fees may apply).
