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

This 4-year course has two routes: a BSc and an MA.

The MA allows you to take more humanities-based modules while studying International Business, such as:

  • History
  • English
  • Geography
  • Politics
  • Psychology

The BSc has more of a grounding in science-based modules.

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.

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.
