International Business
International business is the study of how organisations operate across national boundaries, and why crossing those boundaries creates challenges that domestic business management does not. Currency risk, cultural difference, differing legal and regulatory environments, global supply chains, and the politics of trade are all part of the landscape international business students learn to navigate. The discipline draws on economics, management, marketing, finance, and organisational behaviour, bringing them together in a framework that is explicitly global in scope.
At City St George's, University of London, this three-year full-time degree is delivered in one of the world's most important financial and commercial centres, and the programme takes full advantage of that location. You will study the core disciplines of business alongside modules focused specifically on international dimensions: trade theory, multinational strategy, cross-cultural management, global marketing, and international finance. A sandwich year is included, giving you a substantial period of professional experience in a business environment, which at this level of programme is frequently in an international organisation or in a placement abroad.
Work placement activity supports your professional development throughout. The typical entry tariff of 200 points reflects the competitive nature of the programme.
Graduates of international business programmes are attractive to employers precisely because they have studied the complexity of operating across borders. Career paths include roles in multinational corporations, international trade, financial services, consulting, logistics, and global supply chain management. The programme also prepares you for entrepreneurial ventures with an international dimension.
Many graduates go on to postgraduate study in international business, global management, or specialist areas such as international finance or emerging markets. The sandwich year experience, combined with City's London location and industry connections, typically leads to strong employment outcomes.
