International Business in Practice BSc (Hons)

A degree in international business is all about learning how businesses work around the world. If you dream of travelling, meeting people from different countries, or working for a big global company, this could be the perfect fit for you. It’s an exciting path that opens doors to careers where you can make a difference on a global scale!

International Business has economics at its core and combines this with topics that analyse the major factors that affect Business today.

You will study topics like:

• micro and macroeconomics
• globalisation
• applied policy

International Business is a degree relevant to all industries and gives you a broad range of skills that you will benefit from whatever your career path.

BSc International Business in Practice is a 3-year degree. A three‑year degree route is often called advanced entry or direct entry. This will allow you to begin your studies in the second year of the course. As a result, you can finish a standard Bachelor Honours degree in three years rather than the usual four.

This will let you fast-track your studies, saving time and money while gaining the same high-quality education and career-ready skills as a 4-year course.

Studying international business is a great choice if you’re excited about the idea of working with people from all over the world and tackling challenges on a global scale.

You’ll learn how companies grow and succeed in different countries. You will learn how to understand other cultures, and how to navigate international trade and markets.

If you want a career that could take you anywhere in the world and let you make an impact on a global level, this degree could be your first step.

At the University of Dundee School of Business, you’ll enjoy an interactive learning experience. This will blend traditional teaching with modern technology.

Our hybrid approach combines in-person classes and online resources. This will give you the flexibility to learn your way.

With small, engaging classes, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to connect with your classmates and professors.

This method ensures you get a high-quality education while staying supported, no matter where you’re from.

Our degrees are all about helping you build the skills you need to succeed in your future career. You’ll get real-world experience while you study through industry projects, internships, networking events, and guest lectures.

When you graduate, you won’t just have a degree—you’ll have practical skills you can use right away in any job you choose.

The internship option adds a strong “in-practice” element, as it gives students the chance to put their learning into-practice in an organisation. The teaching on the various modules also allows for students to think from a practical sense. Students will be encouraged to consider how they would apply what they learn on the course, in companies.

One reason why we have a strong focus on Economics in our International Business degree, is because the role of governments and other bodies in global business is hugely relevant especially with the regulation of the economy and businesses and the design of policy relating to business and the economy.
