GAU
International Business Management (BSc)
About Program
GAU International Business Management Program is designed to develop the capabilities, perspectives, entrepreneurial attributes and leadership skills of students who wish to pursue careers in corporations, SMEs, other business enterprises or not-for-profit organisations particularly for business specialist and managerial positions.
Now that the world is a global village, the main need of the market is those people who have the vision, understanding and information of how to survive and excel in this so called “village”. As the International Business Management Department, this is our mission to prepare our students to the demanding and continuously changing market conditions so that they can be important players in this environment. Since modern enterprises - governmental, nonprofit, business - operate in a global environment, success is difficult for those who are unaware of events and cultures outside their own. The program’s goal is to equip students with the ability to work comfortably in more than one corner of the global marketplace. The program requires the completion of 132 credits.
Career Opportunities
Graduates are prepared for careers in international business and management and can use their acquired knowledge and skills in a wide range of businesses that are involved in all functions of businesses including: marketing, human resources, accounting, sales, operations, finance and management consulting.
