Our courses

If they apply to our four-year programme, they undertake a Placement Year during their third year. Students enrolled on to our three-year programme can also flexibly transfer to this option as well. Placements undertaken on these courses can be based in the UK or internationally.
BSc International Management
Students on BSc International ManagementLink opens in a new window are registered on a four-year course and go on a year abroad to study abroad, work or combine both in their third year. As part of this year abroad, students have the option to conduct a placement within a country that they have not been used to living or working in previously. International placements can be anywhere in the world, providing that the location is safe and the work environment does not pose any health or safety hazards. Traditionally, we find that the majority of students on this course participate in two experiences across their year abroad, although some do prefer a single one.
