The BA (Hons) International Business Pathways with Foundation Year offers students a unique opportunity to pursue a business degree tailored to address the influences of the external labor market in the UK, Europe, and the global business community. Students can choose between two pathways - Marketing or Business - to deepen their expertise in their area of interest.
This programme equips students with the knowledge and skills essential for business graduates entering employment in small, medium, and large organisations, both locally and internationally. The Foundation Year provides a pathway for students to begin their studies with a qualification tailored to meet the needs of the international student market and the broader global business environment.
The degree levels are structured to impart contemporary practical and professional skills, grounded in relevant academic theory. This ensures the development of 21st-century graduates who are workplace-ready or prepared to pursue further education at the postgraduate level.
Core business areas such as Business Management, Business Sectors, HRM, Marketing, and Economics are integral to the programme. Students can delve deeper into these subjects through two pathway options, Business and Marketing.
Upon completing an Honours degree, graduates have multiple pathways to postgraduate studies, both within the University and beyond. Many may also pursue professional qualifications in their chosen fields of specialisation.
