Course descriptionThe importance of the international dimension for many businesses today is creating a demand for graduates with sound business skills and the ability to operate effectively outside their country of origin.
The programme seeks to meet this demand. In all three years, students have the option of either studying a language, an economics course or a unit on Chinese business. Students must complete a placement year abroad or vacation placements, one of which must be overseas.
