2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certficate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - International Business

Program Description Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career. Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Westminster. The commercially well-connected University of Westminster is hugely international. Students can study alongside students from nearly 170 countries. Globalisation has enabled companies to become better connected, able to target international customers, develop a worldwide supply chain and attract a multicultural workforce. The degree will prepare students to respond proactively and creatively to the opportunities and risks presented by international business and the challenges of the global business environment – from cultural, legal and economic perspectives. Today, almost all companies, involved in anything from the sale of physical goods to services such as finance, marketing and construction, are affected by global events and competition. Exciting opportunities exist for graduates with a cross-cultural perspective who can operate with confidence, adapt and successfully negotiate increasingly complex internal and external global environments. On the course, students will have a truly global learning experience, studying alongside staff and students from all over the world. This course also tries to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to hear direct from alumni, who have established successful international careers in sectors as diverse as human resources, IT, law and finance. Students will be studying in the heart of London, one of the world’s major cities and international business hubs, and can also choose to spend a year living, studying and/or working abroad at a partner institution in Europe, Asia, Australia or the USA. This will give a valuable insight into another country’s learning experience and broader cultural environment. A broad internationally-focused curriculum covers business essentials, such as finance, culture, marketing, logistics and operations. A large range of optional modules – covering everything from digital business to international financial management and international business law – means students can tailor their studies each year. Real-world case studies, guest speakers and occasional site visits will help students relate your learning to practice – for example, when learning about international project management, previous students visited the Olympic Park and the University’s Vice Chancellor gave a talk sharing experiences from his personal involvement with the Olympic Delivery Authority.
