Program overview

Would you like to do business on a global scale? Do you want to prepare yourself to join the UAE’s multinational, cross-cultural workforce? Today’s firms view the entire globe as a potential marketplace, increasing the demand for international business professionals to provide superior and competitive products and services worldwide. The Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business program will provide you with the essential knowledge, skills and management techniques required to conduct international business operations in an ever-changing global marketplace.

While the international business environment shares many common principles with domestic business practices, it is also distinct due to its range and scope. Hence, it is important to develop graduates who are equipped to compete and manage businesses internationally. The increasing globalization of commercial operations has generated demand for professionals that are competent in analyzing and developing international business strategies. The BBA in International Business will prepare you for managerial careers in the increasingly competitive and interdependent international business markets.

You will acquire vital skills and competencies through specialized international courses in economics, accounting, finance, management, marketing, global logistics and supply chain management, while enhancing your communication skills in a multicultural environment.

The program will give you important insights into the differences of how business is conducted domestically and internationally, how to provide superior service to global customers, and how to expand a local business in the global arena. You will also develop your knowledge of how international business practices and customs vary from those in the UAE, as well as practical knowledge of how business transactions between and within nations are conducted; covering the laws and logistics of international trade and handling investments in foreign markets.
