Why Study Business

A Bachelor Of Business Degree Course In International Business offers a well-rounded skill set which will improve your professional career opportunities. You will become a better communicator and problem solver, with a stronger grasp on the world and the forces which govern it. A qualification in business will give you a clearer understanding of how the economy works, the impact of world events on markets, and a better handle on your own financial wellbeing. Every industry and every organisation benefits from business expertise.

Business touches every part of our society and opportunities to work in the world of business are everywhere. Graduates are increasingly in demand across a wide range of sectors, from finance, accounting, management, and economics, to retail, sales, and consultancy. A degree in business is one of the most employable degrees you can choose—add in your own ambition, talent, and perseverance, and you will have near-endless opportunities for success.

The world of business is both demanding and rewarding, with exciting, fast-paced working environments and huge opportunities for progression, growth, and earnings. Business graduates go on to work for multinational corporations, for government organisations, small businesses and start-ups, non-profits, and NGOs—or even start their own businesses. If you aspire to the latter, a business qualification will equip you with the entrepreneurial, leadership, and organisational skills to kickstart your own venture.

A business degree qualification offers adaptable, transferable skills which can be applied in every aspect of your personal and professional life. A mix of practical and theoretical learning ensures a foundational skill set of both technical and soft skills, all of which are applicable across a wide range of industries, from finance and strategy to communications and IT and beyond. For any profession, a business course is the best way to learn formal leadership and management skills which can be put to use in a multitude of ways.

Business is a truly global field of study. Worldwide demand for business graduates allows students the opportunity to travel abroad or stay in Ireland once they have completed their studies, while the earning potential of a career in business ensures that a business qualification is a sound investment.
