Overview
In an increasingly interconnected world, studying business from an international perspective makes sense for all those that seek a management career within a business, whether it is a start-up microenterprise or within a global multinational company.
In today’s international market, businesses need employees who understand globalisation, sustainability and intercultural communication. Learn more about these complex issues and their management through real-world case studies, market researched pedagogy and a strong theoretical backbone at ARU London.
The taught modules cover all the major functional areas of business from finance and marketing to human resources and information systems. Building on this essential core knowledge, this degree examines and develops an understanding of the cultural, ethical and interpersonal challenges that arise within today’s multicultural global business environment, from SMEs and how they compete on a global level; ethics and social responsibility; to technology and how organisations use information to support global operations and deliver competitive advantage.
The final year “Major Project” encourages you to utilise both the skills and knowledge learnt during the course and combine them with current academic research that will further develop your professional expertise and career prospects. This allows you to gain a broad understanding of the key areas of business which will enable you to appreciate the importance of the different functions.
