Course Overview

International business knowledge benefits employers in all types of jobs and industries from sport and leisure, the arts and entertainment to social work, engineering, and the natural sciences. We, therefore, welcome applicants from a wide range of undergraduate disciplines; past students have joined us having studied subjects as diverse as history, sociology, geography, and law, as well as business. Well uncover some of the different and often fascinating trade practices that exist across continents and countries, such as the varying age restrictions on child labor, often influenced by historical, cultural, and social background. Youll also be exposed to the unique challenges of identifying, managing, and training a global workforce with a diverse staff of multiple nationalities and ethnicities, with the chance to take part in a practical mock interview scenario.
