The BSc International Management (China) (Year abroad) is a 4-year programme of study that provides students with a strong grounding in international management, specialist knowledge of business and management in China, and competence in Chinese language. Students take courses in accounting, finance, managerial economics, marketing, corporate governance, research methods and international business strategy, together with specialist courses that draw on SOAS’s knowledge of management and finance in China. In addition, students take three full-unit modules in Chinese and spend their third year of study abroad, normally in one of our partner institutions in China or Taiwan. During their time at SOAS students have the opportunity to take approved courses from other SOAS departments, such as Law, Politics, Economics, History and Chinese, providing a rich inter-disciplinary learning environment.
The programme aims to provide students with a conceptual understanding of core principles of international management and finance, the ability to apply this knowledge to real issues facing business and other organisations that operate in China or deal with the Chinese economy, and competence in Chinese language.
Graduates will have a firm grasp of international management disciplines and competence in Chinese that should place them in a good position to pursue a career in business, banking, consulting, media and other industries, especially in companies or organisations that operate in, or do business with China. Students who attain a first or upper second will be well-placed to embark on postgraduate study.
