Studying International Management (BSc) encourages a wide range of relevant, highly transferable and sought-after skills.

These help to prepare you for the challenges you will face after university; everything from a career in a multinational corporation to starting and running your own business.

3b

This course gives you the opportunity to study or work abroad as part of your degree, while gaining a broad knowledge of business and management. The international element will help develop your ability to operate across cultural boundaries and embrace different perspectives.

You will also have the flexibility to follow either a generalist route in business and management to keep your career options open or specialise in your chosen field by following one of our recognised Pathways in Finance, Digital Business, Entrepreneurship or Marketing. Each pathway has been developed to build your knowledge within that subject area and upon graduation; your recognised pathway will be added to your transcript.

3c

You can tailor your degree towards your career aspirations by selecting elective modules from WBS and other University of Warwick departments. You can also study one of our recognised pathways in Digital Business, Entrepreneurship, Finance or Marketing.

This provides the opportunity to specialise in a particular area or to take a broader approach to your studies.
