Overview

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) International Business

Employers are increasingly looking for work-ready graduates with an in-depth understanding of the global economy and the skills to operate in an international business environment. Global organisations need experts who have a good understanding of business in their own local markets and can develop effective international business strategies.

Our Business with International Management programme equips you with a solid grounding in international business in a global context. It focuses on honing your abilities to navigate the complexities of global markets, master the intricacies of cross-border operations, and devise strategies that effectively bridge local and international boundaries. Designed for those aspiring to become international marketing managers, global supply chain coordinators, foreign policy advisors, or international business strategists, this degree positions graduates to meet the demands of worldwide organisations.

Programme Objective

The Bachelor of International Business degree in Singapore is designed to meet the demand for work-ready graduates who possess a deep understanding of the global economy and the expertise to operate within an international business environment. Unlike a regular Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Studies, this programme places a stronger emphasis on international economic knowledge, digital transformation, sustainability, and emerging technologies, preparing students to develop and implement strategies for multinational organisations.
