You’ll learn not just how to manage people and businesses but also how to negotiate the complex intercultural relationships which more than ever define international business.

    This degree is extremely accessible, even to those students who do not have a great deal of specialised business education already. As it includes a built-in foundation year, you can apply for the program with as few as 48 UCAS Tariff Points to your name. You needn’t have any particular A Levels ether, as all of the essential skills and knowledge of the field will be provided for you over those first two semesters.
