BA Hons International Business at Lincoln Business School
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Introduction
Business and trade are the lifeblood of the global economy. The future of any successful economy depends on the skill, imagination and the training of its own people – the entrepreneurs who make business grow. There is a perceived need internationally for professional men and women who can operate with confidence in an international business environment. This degree course aims to produce graduates who are well qualified in business studies and who are prepared to meet the challenges of international business in the 21st century.
In studying International Business, students explore a range of business disciplines that will enable them to understand and identify the needs of business operating in a global context. In the first two years of the course these include general business subjects including: Contemporary Business Analysis and Issues, Finance, Operations and Marketing. Moving on from this, in the final year students specialise in a range of International Business subjects that have a strong focus on international trade and related issues. Students also have the opportunity to study a modern foreign language.
The programme is designed to prepare students for a career in international business and to increase their geographical mobility. The programme is four years in length, allowing students to undertake a one-year study or work placement. International placements take place in the NAFTA region. This experience offers a unique opportunity for students to gain an international perspective of practical business and study that complements their course in the UK.
