Programme structure

Programme Year One

Students are introduced to both the fundamentals of management studies and the basic concepts and skills necessary for a broad understanding of the international business environment.

Programme Year Two

The second year builds on the knowledge gained in the first year to extend your knowledge of international business. You will study modules in areas such as corporate social responsibility, economics, finance, international management and entrepreneurship. You will also complete a careers-oriented module to prepare you for your year in industry. An elective may be taken, from business-related areas including leadership, HRM and sustainability.

The third year of the programme is spent on placement. Students will complete a year-long graduate-level placement, which will provide them with valuable work experience and an opportunity to further enhance the skills and attributes sought after by top employers. Students may apply for UK-based placements, or seek overseas placements or a role at Suzhou Business Park, China. Students will be visited at least twice by University staff whilst on placement and will complete placement-related assessments in May.

This year will consolidate your knowledge and understanding through a much greater opportunity for personal study and research, as well as modules that probe more deeply into contemporary issues in global business.
