Course Summary

The world’s economy is becoming increasingly global and individuals who understand the international context of business and finance are in high demand. By studying international business and finance, you will be able to consider how these disciplines are affected by globalisation and how businesses, markets, people and information interconnect across borders. BSc International Business and Finance is taught at Essex Business School where our finance courses have 91% student satisfaction (NSS, 2019); we are ranked 20th nationally for overall student satisfaction in finance (NSS, 2019). The course is delivered at our Southend-on-Sea campus, home to our highly rated Management Science and Entrepreneurship research group. This means that your teaching in international business and finance will cover the latest insights from research conducted in partnership with businesses from all over the world. **Study abroad:** The four-year version of BSc International Business and Finance enables you to study abroad during your third year. In all other areas, this version of the course remains identical to the standard three-year variant. You can study abroad with one of our exchange partners in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the Middle East, Hong Kong and Japan. In doing so, you experience other cultures and languages, meet new people, and gain intercultural skills that are sought-after by employers. For students who commence their course in 2020, if you spend a full year abroad you’ll pay no tuition fees to Essex for that year. You won't pay any tuition fees to your host university either.
