International Business with Business Analytics

You'll be well-suited for positions in international marketing, global supply chain management and financial analysis, where your understanding of global markets and analytical acumen will be highly-valued.

You could pursue roles such as business analyst, data analyst, and market researcher, leveraging data to inform strategic decisions. You may also find opportunities as a management consultant, advising firms on optimising operations and expanding into new markets.

With the increasing importance of data in shaping business strategies, you are also primed for roles in data science and business intelligence within multinational corporations, start-ups, and governmental agencies.

Professional Experience modules are a great way to learn more about an industry. They take place in Year 2 of your course, with each module lasting approximately 12 weeks (or one trimester).

You can choose which modules to take. Options include project work on campus, and industry placements. Our Placements Team is here to help you secure a placement.

We’ll assess your progress in a number of ways, mainly through informal question and answer sessions. You can also expect individual and group presentations, management reports, exams, presentation or written analysis of case studies, and assignments.

Our assessment strategy is linked closely to your employability. You'll develop skills that can be transferred to the professional environment such as team work, communication and presentation skills, and the ability to work under pressure.
