BA (Hons) Business Management (International Business)

This pathway combines business and management with a focus on the international, globalized working environment. Students of this pathway will build knowledge and skills related to the international dimension of the modern working world. The programme is designed for students working (or looking to work) for multinational companies dealing with a variety of cultures and countries.

The programme includes Global Economy which provides analysis of the global economy and the relationship between international business and other global business factors, International Business which examines the complex international business environment and Cross-Cultural Management which examines the impact of culture on management and performance. The 40-credit dissertation module will also be related to international business.

The course emphasises active learning and facilitative teaching methods, through which students are expected to construct their own knowledge and understanding by engaging in supported processes of enquiry – often carried out in small groups – giving the opportunity for frequent and informal feedback. The course also encourages a participative approach to learning, including collaborative learning and peer review. Students explore business and management issues that are set in realistic contexts, allowing theory to be explored through interesting and challenging situations, thereby marrying critical enquiry with practical insights. Students are at the centre of the learning process, making their own connections between ideas and synthesis is encouraged, with the integration of knowledge from multiple subject areas.

Assessment is carried out at key points during teaching. Formative assessment with either verbal and/or written feedback is offered during each module. Written feedback is provided following summative assessment. Assessment tasks are linked to the objectives of each module and are normally completed by the end of each module. Types of assessment evidence can include assignments, projects, in-class tests and presentations.
