You will not need to make a final decision about your placement until late in the first year of the course. For many students, the third year work placement is a valuable and formative experience and many students are given a high degree of responsibility in their jobs. It allows consolidation of your learning and adds relevant experience to your personal profile which should make you more attractive to prospective employers. You will be provided with advice and support during the process of application and subsequently during your placement year. These provide practical as well as intellectual challenge, and will help you to develop the attributes you need for success in business management.
Students come from many different countries and backgrounds.
They bring multi-cultural perspectives and experience of global business, enriching the learning experience. There are opportunities for you to spend a term abroad, studying at a partner academic institution in the USA or Europe, and we will encourage you to apply. Most modules use a combination of methods to provide a final assessment grade, although in some cases you may be assessed on coursework or examination alone. The course will prepare you for a career in international management. We will be able to advise you on module choice so that you can develop a balance of skills appropriate to your career needs.
