Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business

In addition to a well-rounded background in liberal arts and humanities, business students learn concepts and principles necessary to be successful international business executives and to manage in today’s globally competitive, rapidly changing business environment. This program provides students with high-quality education and gives each individual support from exceptionally well-qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field. During the program, students develop strong ethical skills and knowledge of business theories and techniques along with hands-on experience which gives life-long learning.

The interdepartmental International Business Program (IBS) offers a graduate curriculum leading to the degree of MBA in international business.

This program prepares students for entry and managerial positions in a variety of firms, such as export and import companies, international-trade intermediaries, financial institutions, and multinational enterprises, both in the United States and abroad.

For students with an undergraduate degree in business administration, the program provides the opportunity to internationalize their knowledge of business functions; for students with other undergraduate degrees, it complements their core business courses in a similar manner. The Department of Marketing and International Business plays a vital role in coordinating and staffing this program.

Objectives

The conditions of business today are being dramatically altered by the rapid development of international economic relations under the so-called globalisation process. This makes it necessary for current and future business executives to be exposed to various cultures including business cultures and to master more than one international language.

To respond to this need, the Bachelor in Business at Burgundy School of Business has been designed as an English-taught programme, aimed at dynamic undergraduate students of all nationalities, wishing to complete their education by developing their understanding of business and management issues in a country other than their own.

The aim of the programme is to produce young graduates with skills of applying theoretical and practical knowledge of business matters to international management practice.
Special Features of the programme

The Bachelor in Business at Burgundy School of Business was designed both as an educational and life experience:
Study in France, in English:

The Bachelor in Business programme provides students interested in France, but unable to take French-taught classes, with the opportunity to study on a programme in an internationally orientated French business school located in a town and region endowed with huge cultural and historical wealth, in the heart of Europe.

China is one of the world’s fastest growing economies – so much so that, today, it is the manufacturing base for some of the world’s largest consumer goods and electronics companies. It is also a market of massive potential for western technology, goods and services, and as such is playing an increasingly competitive role on the world stage. All of this is having an impact not just on companies doing business with China, but on those that are collaborating or competing with Chinese companies elsewhere in the world. This means that there is a growing need for managers and business specialists who really understand China. This business degree is designed to meet this demand.

In addition to studying China and its business environment, you also need to have a good knowledge of business in general. To enable you to achieve this, the degree also includes the study of business principles, thereby equipping graduates to work effectively not just in China’s challenging and demanding market but elsewhere as well.

The sandwich year is integral to the degree and is compulsory. It is one of the most valuable parts of the degree, as it enables students to put into practice the knowledge and skills acquired in their first two years. The degree also includes an introduction to Mandarin Chinese, which must be taken by all students with no prior knowledge of the language.
