Business Management (International Management) with a Professional Placement Year

Cardiff University

The globalisation of economies across the world means businesses operate on an international level to meet the growing demand for goods and services. As organisations find ways to respond to these demands, employees with responsible international management expertise are in high demand.

Our BSc Business Management (International Management) is designed to equip you with practical skills and professional confidence for a successful career in a multinational corporation.

You’ll develop international management expertise from our team of researchers and business practitioners. They’ll introduce you to the principles of multiculturalism, ethics and morality and practices like cultural marketing, international business logistics and human resource management.

Your Professional Placement Year is an opportunity to put your university knowhow into practice as you take up a paid role and complement your academic study with exposure to real-world international business scenarios.

Career prospects

97% of our students are in employment and/or further study within six months of graduating.

Our dedicated career professionals have got you covered on things like industry placements, internships, work experience and insights.

You’ll benefit from career consultations, interview and CV writing workshops, industry-specific events and specialist psychometric assessment and broad skills training.

Placements

This programme includes a professional placement year during year 3 of the four-year programme. You will be responsible for sourcing your own placement, though support will be given by the School’s employability team. If you are unable to secure a suitable placement you will be permitted to transfer to the equivalent ‘non-placement’ programme, assuming the relevant academic requirements are met. Placements can be conducted in English or in Welsh.
