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

International Business

International business isn’t just about making money, or overseas expansion. It’s a complex interaction between global systems, organisational strategy, and human behaviour - and that’s exactly what you’ll explore on this course.

You’ll develop a strong foundation in core business areas such as management, marketing, accounting and finance, while applying them in a global context.

As global markets continue to shift, you’ll examine real-world challenges including geopolitics, trade tensions, climate change, sustainability, and rapid technological disruption. You’ll develop the insight to understand how global businesses respond, and how they should lead.

People matter in business. You’ll explore cross-cultural management, organisational behaviour, leadership, ethics and decision-making, building the confidence to work, lead and thrive in diverse global teams.

Learning is immersive and applied. In seminars and workshops, you’ll put theory into practice using real business data and case studies, guided by expert academics who are active researchers.

With a strong emphasis on digital innovation in a global context, this course is ideal if you’re aiming for a career at the intersection of international trade, digital transformation and sustainability.

And if your ambitions evolve, flexibility is built in. At the end of your first stage, you can transfer to another Kent business degree, such as marketing, business analytics or management, without losing momentum.

Year in Industry

Taking a year in industry in the UK or abroad is the perfect way to put into practice the skills you’ve learnt, and build important industry connections.

Year Abroad

Expand your horizons and tailor your degree to suit you with a year abroad, where you'll study at one of our partner institutions for a year. Studying abroad helps you grow in confidence and enhances your employability. You'll make friends in the country you're studying in and meet other adventurous students from around the world.

Foundation Year

A course with a Foundation Year provides a pathway into degree-level study for students from a wide range of educational backgrounds and qualifications. It is the perfect option if you have school-leaving qualifications below the level required for direct entry onto a degree programme. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.
