A further opportunity for International Business Management students comes through our partnership with TAMK University in Finland. Through the dual award option, you have the chance to apply to study part of your course at Tampere University of Applied Sciences and graduate with two degrees. Tobias Reynolds did it; watch the video below to hear about his experiences.

You'll also have access to a wide range of opportunities that help you develop your real-world skills, such as live projects, a year's paid work placement and study abroad.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are integral parts of our teaching; these are essential if your dream is to set up your own business, but future employers also value an entrepreneurial mindset. Launch@ Salford is the Business School incubation centre that supports business start-ups.

You will:

• Gain expertise in global business and develop cross-cultural management skills
• Learn practical management skills from business simulations and live projects
• Study in a supportive environment where you are a name, not a number
• Study in a dynamic and exciting city full of business opportunities

Career focussed, hands-on learning

Right from the start, the International Business Management course is all about supporting you to develop the practical skills that employers look for.

You'll be working on live projects and business simulations to learn the fundamental basis of global business management while developing your core skills such as problem-solving, leadership, communication and data analysis; the very skills employers are looking for. In this way, you will learn to find creative, sustainable and ethical solutions to business problems. Throughout your time with us, you will build your own portfolio of professional evidence which you will be able to use to help you get a rewarding job when you graduate.
