BSc (Hons) International Business with a Foundation Year

In the 2020s even microbusinesses have the potential to have global reach. Having an understanding of international culture, being able to adapt to a global market, and recognising the opportunities companies have on the international stage, is vital to succeed.

Our International Business degree is designed to give you the industry-relevant skills and essential knowledge that you need if you see yourself having a career that involves managing or leading across boundaries. As a graduate made at KBS, you’ll be equipped to respond to the challenges and opportunities faced by global businesses while developing your understanding in all areas of enterprise such as marketing, finance, and strategy.

The Foundation Year is for students whose school-leaving qualifications are below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.

This course is internationally focused by design. You will develop a broad understanding of business in a global context through modules that teach everything from international trade and finance, to international business in a digital economy, alongside introductory modules in finance, operations, and other essential business functions plus flexible options in more specialised areas of business.
