>This degree focuses on organisations that transcend national borders, and how business is conducted across the globe. Students learn how organisations of all sizes internationalise their operations to exploit opportunities in the global market. Our International Business degree is ideal for students with a global outlook who wish to work either in local firms competing abroad or in subsidiaries of foreign multinationals, located either here or abroad. To live and work effectively within the global economy, an understanding of the theory and practice of international business management is essential.
>Students develop key skills for lifelong learning, including how to analyse and think critically about solving business problems in an international environment.
>The people, cultural, operational, and marketing insights provided by studying International Business are critical to understanding the process of internationalising, managing diverse teams within and across business units, and responding to a range of international customers as well as the social, economic, political, legal and technological changes.
>International Business students at Maynooth are offered unrivalled choice and flexibility. We offer modules that will develop both core business management knowledge as well as modules that provide a more specialist understanding of the international aspects of business.
>International Business students also have the option of taking a four year degree with a work placement or study year abroad, thus combining what you learn in university with insights into industry or another culture.
