BSc Business with International Business Management with Foundation Year

The BSc Business with International Business Management with Foundation Year at Liverpool John Moores University is a four-year full-time programme. The course offers students a solid base in business principles before moving on to more advanced studies in international business.

It covers essential topics like business operations, marketing, financial management, and ethical leadership, so students understand how businesses function globally.

Throughout the course, students use business simulation tools, work on live projects, and study real-world case studies to apply what they learn. The programme includes core modules such as Introduction to Marketing, Financial Accounting Techniques, Global Business Management, Economics, and International Trade. Students can also choose optional modules that match their career goals. 

There are chances for study abroad in places like China, the USA, and Europe, and students have the option for a sandwich year, which is 48 weeks of paid work experience either in the UK or abroad. Graduates from this course are prepared for jobs in international business management, global marketing, finance, and consulting.
