Year in International Business, UK and Amsterdam

The Year in International Business Programme is an exciting opportunity for current undergraduate students who would like to study at our Amsterdam campus. This opportunity is open to all non-business students, and is designed to overcome some of the barriers known to deter some students from a period of international study. The Year in International Business also offers students an innovative and employability-enhancing exposure to business theory and practice.

This is a one-year award for Northumbria students of a non-business background who have successfully completed Level 5 of their undergraduate studies and who are seeking to complement their degree and experiences with a year of business-related study. The one-year will involve a semester of taught study in Newcastle, followed by one semester in Amsterdam where a real-world, international experience is offered by means of a Group Business Consultancy Project. Academic information below.

The award made to these students on completion of their Northumbria studies will be BA (Hons) or BSc (Hons) X with Year in International Business.

* Some degrees may not be eligible if professional accreditation does not allow for an overseas break in studies. Please check with your Programme Leader before applying.

* Please note, in line with the continuous improvement process for all Northumbria University programmes the International Year in Business is currently under review. If you are applying for the programme you will be informed of any changes to the programme structure.
