International Business (extended), BA Hons in University of Greenwich

With an additional year to get you ready for a degree-level study, this course in international business provides a launch pad for global careers.

Our extended degree in international business is identical to the three-year degree but includes a foundation year. The course covers international business management and strategy, internationalisation, trade and markets, and emerging economies - all essential if you're looking to start a successful business career with an international focus.

You'll have two further opportunities: the first, to spend your second year on the Erasmus+ student exchange programme; the second, to undertake an optional placement year in an international organisation.

International business careers include banking and finance, IT, and logistics. Graduates from this course have joined companies such as PwC, JP Morgan, HP and Ericsson.

How long is my placement?

Work placements are 9-12 months of full-time paid work. You take this between the second and third years of study.
