What you will learn
Early study brings business administration and economics together with comparative politics, sociology, law and the history of the world economy. The integrated plan covers the core content of both subjects and includes external internship options. The longer duration gives room to develop business knowledge in its political and social context.
Who it may suit
This can suit a student who is interested in how organisations operate across borders and is happy to commit to a substantial joint curriculum. It offers preparation for exploring internationally oriented business or further study, without requiring you to choose between management and global affairs at the outset.
