International Business

Category: Public Sector Procurement

Course Details:

The International Business Degree will prepare and equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to understand the link between political, economic, socio-cultural and environmental factors to multinational organisations. The BCom (International Business) degree will allow for students to gain a broader and more in-depth understanding of the role and importance that a government plays; not only at a national level but an international level too.

The course work on the programme facilitates a sound understanding of the key business theories, methodologies and practices. The course work provides a balance of theoretical and practical aspects of international business.

With the scarcity of Bachelor of Commerce in International Business and the current shortage of expertise and skills in this area, this programme aims to produce graduates who are in possession of the following attributes:

• Critical thinking;

• Fundamental problem solving skills;

• Communication skills;

• Ethical and legal conduct;

• Global awareness;

• Cultural sensitivity.
