Skills
Make your mark with the professional international business skills that matter most to employers.
With this BSc International Business, you'll become a confident, independent thinker, with the skills to adapt rapidly to change, and a detailed knowledge of international business and cross-cultural management.
You'll acquire the key attributes employers value, such as:
- Commercial acumen

You'll feel confident in your personal values, with the knowledge and experience to solve business problems ethically, and an ongoing passion for personal and professional development. Roehampton’ll also help you to increase your employability through annual Business Readiness modules. And you can put these skills into practice with an optional work placement after Year 2. Fully supported by its Placement Office, this is a chance to gain real-world experience before you graduate and get paid while you make valuable connections.
Learning
Belong, believe and achieve through Roehampton's practical approach to international business.
Roehampton delivers a modern, practice-based curriculum, where you'll gain the in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society. In high-spec facilities, like its Business Laboratory and new Bloomberg Trading Room, you’ll develop an understanding of:
- General business areas such as managing people, operations and marketing
- What businesses need to do to operate ethically and effectively in a culturally diverse and international environment
You’ll also take a Business Readiness module each year, designed in line with the CMI’s employability framework to help you develop key skills. The university's faculty of academic experts and working professionals will guide you through a blended mix of:
- Lectures
- Seminars
- Independent learning
- Online study skills
- Assessment preparation sessions
As these courses are taught over no more than three days per week, you’ll have the flexibility to take on paid part-time work, placements, or internships – gaining real-world experience before you graduate. Roehampton applies world-leading research and the latest thinking to your studies to help you develop a global mindset. You can also gain international experience through an optional semester abroad, with Roehampton Abroad scholarships of up to £1,000 available to help with the cost.
Assessment
Benefit from assessments that prepare you for life beyond university.
You'll be assessed using a wide range of theory and practical assessments that replicate the world of business today. This includes coursework, reports, exams (on Accountancy and Finance modules only) and online tests.
Other types of assessments include portfolio evaluation, case studies, critical poster, consultancy projects and using the Bloomberg terminal to track performance of a live asset.
All of these methods will help you demonstrate the breath and knowledge you've learnt.
Between Years 2 and 3, you can choose to enhance your practical work experience by applying for a year-long paid professional placement.
