Whether you are from the UK, EU or from overseas, if you have a business HND or equivalent or are about to complete your second year of university business studies, this final year programme offered byÊUniversity of Derby will give you the choice and flexibility to graduate with an International Business and Finance degree.

The top-up is a particularly good financial deal for international students, who can obtain a globally recognised UK degree, at the cost of only one year of study in the UK.

The programme is aimed at students from a generalist background who want a specialist focus. It delves deeply into the workings of international business, where flexibility and willingness to adapt are crucial in todayÕs increasingly internationalised and dynamic business environment.

Building on previously acquired business knowledge and skills, it focuses on international financial markets and the far-reaching impact of their activity. YouÕll develop your understanding of international business strategy, problem solving and decision-making processes - vital for an influential and successful career in international business.

YouÕll learn how businesses use financial assets in their international activities and how international business is affected by changes in financial markets.

Keeping right up to date with whatÕs happening in the world economy, you will use actual case studies and benefit from the insight of expert speakers from the international financial sector.

Careers

Your aim may be to work for a financial sector organisation such as an investment bank or hedge fund, or the financial department of an international organisation.

Or you may simply want to better understand the business and finance decisions you make for a small-scale exporting company in terms of exchange-rate management and hedging.

On completion of the BA top-up degree, you will be ideally placed to join management training programmes in the worldÕs largest international companies and financial organisations.
