International Business Management with Study Abroad Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

This four-year degree mirrors the three-year [BSc International Business Management](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2027/international-business-management/bsc-international-business-management/), with the addition of a year abroad at one of our partner universities. You will complete your first and second years in Bristol, spend your third year studying business and management in English overseas, and return to Bristol for your final year. This structure allows you to build the same rigorous grounding in international business management while gaining first-hand experience of business education in a different academic and cultural environment.

Across the degree, you will develop the capacity to interpret global economic and market shifts, work confidently with quantitative and qualitative information, assess how multinational firms structure and adapt their operations, and evaluate the policy frameworks that shape international business activity. You will also gain a strong grounding in organisational behaviour, strategy and leadership, equipping you to work effectively with diverse teams and complex organisational systems. Attention is given to both advanced and emerging markets, helping you understand how firms navigate institutional diversity, rapid growth and evolving regulatory environments. Sustainability, ethical practice and responsible business conduct are embedded throughout, encouraging you to consider how firms address social and environmental challenges while competing internationally.

The year abroad enhances this development by immersing you in a different educational, cultural and business environment, strengthening your adaptability, global awareness and confidence in working across borders, while giving you first-hand insight into how international business is taught and practised in another country.
