After building a solid foundation of business knowledge, you will spend a year abroad, preparing you for the global marketplace. Returning to Sheffield for your final year, you will graduate with a solid understanding of how businesses function and succeed in an international market. Achieve an excellent understanding of business management with an international focus – this a degree for those with the drive to achieve their very best. No experience is necessary for this degree, but you must be prepared to strive for the best possible results. You’ll be combining rigorous academic study, the acquisition of practical skills, and completing a full year abroad – all in just three years. In addition, you may be eligible to apply for a placement year in employment in your study abroad country or back in the UK, gaining valuable experience of real relevance to prospective employers. Year one is about a comprehensive understanding of core business – including behaviour, international business and economics – plus skills-based modules like accounting and decision-making techniques. To participate in the year abroad you must pass your first year with no failed modules and an average grade of 60%. You will study abroad in your second year at one of our prestigious partner universities around the world. Students who don't achieve this transfer to our BA Business Management course and stay in Sheffield for the second year. For the third year of the course, you return to Sheffield and continue your business management studies – building on your personal experience, and tailoring your modules to shape the international focus.
