The BSc in International Business and Politics takes a global view in its focus on the relationships between business, politics, and society.

A Unique Combination

Due to globalisation, relationships between business, governments, international institutions and other actors such as NGOs, are becoming increasingly more important. Therefore, strong skills in analysing these relationships have become essential.

BSc in International Business and Politics equips you with these skills by combining:

• Knowledge of business, economics, political science, and international political economy
• Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative methods used in research in these disciplines
• Knowledge of major national and international institutions and actors in the area of business and politics
• An understanding of broad patterns of development in the global political economy from a historical perspective.

Strong Research Communities

The programme takes particular advantage of strong research communities in management, economics, international political economy, and political science. This ensures that the syllabus reflects the newest information and research.

Throughout the programme, theories and knowledge acquired through coursework are applied to the analysis of contemporary problems involving international business and politics - often with a decision-making aspect.

Cross-border Activities

The strong foundation in core management disciplines qualifies graduates for a career in international companies, institutions, and organisations with significant cross-border activities.

The programme provides strong analytical skills - enabling graduates to develop solutions and strategies in the field of international business and politics. Therefore, you will be qualified to work in the areas of:

• Stakeholder relations
• Strategy formulation
• Analysis of economic-political problems
• Advising on international conditions and relations.
