Our four-year BSc Business Management programmes share a generic first year, during which you will take seven compulsory modules from across the range of business disciplines, providing a broad understanding of business and management contexts and processes.

The BSc Business Management (International Management) programme examines the distinctive processes of management in multinational enterprises and considers the influence of the international business context on such companies. It also covers regional patterns of business activity, with a particular emphasis on Japanese business and other rapidly developing business systems in East Asia.

The programme reflects the internationalisation of business activity and the growth of companies with global reach. It also offers the opportunity to study abroad for one semester during the second year.
