International Business Management
When International Business Management BSc students can study abroad
International Business Management BSc students can study at one of our exchange partner institutions for a full academic year, after Stage 2. This will make your degree four years overall.
We strongly recommend that your year abroad applications should relate to destinations that will allow you to develop the language you are studying as part of your degree as language development is an important aspect of this degree. Requests to study abroad in other locations will be considered on a case by case basis. Students studying Chinese language must study at one of our Chinese partner universities.
You can apply for up to five student exchange programmes. Some partner universities have limited places so use all of your application choices and be prepared not to get your first choice. Some partner universities and destinations are more popular than others, so try to select alternative options from different cities. Please note that some destinations have multiple campuses and some destinations teach more in English than others.
We keep our exchange partner information as up to date as possible, but sometimes changes happen at short notice.
It's important that you research the universities you're interested in. Don’t rule out locations you may not have heard of - there are some hidden gems on our lists.
Additional information for stage 1 and 2 students is available on the IBM Programme Canvas Community
Please contact the Placement and Study Abroad Team - Aaron, Anna and Ellen - before you apply.
