UEA London prospectus 2012–2013 - University of East Anglia

Enhancing the employability of our students
An innovative degree in International
Business Management
International business was once restricted to either
large multinational enterprises or to smaller,
specialist organisations involved in international
trade. Today, all business is international. New
communication technologies and cheap travel
bring an international dimension to even the
smallest of businesses. Even where businesses
are not directly engaged in international activity,
they are often indirectly affected by the
international flow of ideas, goods, capital,
technology and labour, as well as the developing
international regulatory framework.
The BSc International Business Management
degree will ensure that you have the knowledge,
skills and understanding required to succeed in an
international workplace.
