'If you are a driven, passionate individual who relishes challenges and enjoys exploring new cultures, travelling and generally having fun, then this is definitely the course for you.'
From my personal experience, if you want a career in international business there is no other course which gives you better preparation or more fun. Through being taught from day one with students of all nationalities, my horizons have been completely widened, as my best friends are now Dutch, Irish, French, German and Spanish.
My two years abroad in Germany as part of the BBA in European Management were simply fantastic. Not only did I become fluent in the language, I was able to do things I would never have dreamed of, such as popping over to Switzerland frequently for skiing weekends. Through the BBA, I achieved my job aspirations: undertaking my work placement with Procter & Gamble in Frankfurt, and writing my dissertation with their perfume brands Hugo Boss and Lacoste. After graduation I then returned to Procter & Gamble in Frankfurt.
If you are a driven, passionate individual who relishes challenges and enjoys exploring new cultures, travelling and generally having fun, then this is definitely the course for you.
