International Business Management with Study Abroad BA

Course description

Achieve an excellent understanding of business management with an international focus – this a degree for those with the drive to achieve their very best.

No experience is necessary for this degree, but you must be prepared to strive for the best possible results. You’ll be combining rigorous academic study, the acquisition of practical skills, and completing a full year abroad – all in just three years. In addition, you may be eligible to apply for a placement year in employment in your study abroad country or back in the UK, gaining valuable experience of real relevance to prospective employers.

Year one is about a comprehensive understanding of core business – including behaviour, ethics, strategy and economics – plus skills-based modules like accounting and decision-making techniques.

You must pass the first time, with an average grade of 60% and no failed modules, in order to study abroad in your second year at one of our prestigious partner universities around the world.

Students who don't achieve this transfer to our BA Business Management course and stay in Sheffield for the second year.

For the third year of the course, you return to Sheffield and continue your business management studies – building on your personal experience, and tailoring your modules to shape the international focus.
