As the modern business world becomes increasingly complex, understanding the fundamental way in which businesses and organisations operate - how they develop their strategies and take key decisions - is vital.

All Business Management degrees provide a strong grounding in the principles of modern business management and also introduce the more functional areas of business and management.

International Business Management students do a mandatory second year abroad, at another university where they gain international experience and international input in terms of the curriculum that they learn.

Second year is spent abroad as an MA International Business Management student at our partner universities in Australia. Currently, we have secured University of Sydney, La Trobe University and University of Western Australia as partners. At least one university in each major city in Australia to be secured soon.
