Programme Overview
Gain the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in management in an increasingly global business environment with this programme which will take you from new student to future business leader.
The journey begins from day one. As finance, socio-economic factors, politics, geography, language and culture all influence business, you’ll begin the programme with an exploration of how these can help shape business strategy within an international marketplace.
Like our other undergraduate programmes at Richmond, our BA in Business Management is based on the American liberal arts tradition, which helps broaden perspective and develops practical skills which are highly appealing to future employers in a global economy.
You’ll also have the benefit of studying one programme and gaining two degrees, one from the US and one from the UK. Complementary membership of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is also offered to all of our students.
In the third and fourth year, you’ll be able to take your pick from topics which particularly appeal to you, such as Modern China, The Global Investor, Operations Management and International Finance. Renowned and highly qualified business leaders are invited to speak to our BA International Business students, sharing their experience within the industry, while visits to organisations and museums enhance experiential learning.
You’ll also be able to tailor your International Business degree by taking a minor from a wide range of other leading academic disciplines.
Many of our students gain international industry experience through an accredited internship, which helps shape their education and career choice.
Top 5 reasons to study this programme:
- Gain broad understanding of all aspects of business management from a start-up phase to running and expanding a business
- Option to add a minor to your International Business degree in a related subject area, enhancing your employability
- Benefit from practical working experience through an accredited internship in London with leading business organisation

What our students say
“In my days at Richmond I was actively participating in the campus activities and events. I was a Resident Director (RD), student ambassador and assisted Student Affairs in ensuring the welfare of other students.
After I graduated from Richmond with a BA in Business Administration: International Business* (Minor in Finance), I continued my studies at London School of Economics (LSE). I then secured a training contract with magic circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer while completing my diploma in law and the accelerated legal practice course at BPP Law School.
A key element of the Richmond experience is that ‘students learn to respect, value and appreciate the diversity and international background of other students; something I could experience beyond the classroom.’ Additionally, I recognized the benefits of small class sizes, the alumni community and strong career support that allowed me land into an exciting role as Associate at White & Case LLP.”
“I am currently a Senior RFP Writer within Global Business Development at BlueBay Asset Management. I am most proud of my successful career within leading global investment organisations while simultaneously achieving highly recognised investment qualifications such as the CFA and CAIA charters.
Richmond was instrumental for my progression and helped me identify my talent and ambition for finance and investments. In addition, it was there that I recognised the value of diversity and leadership in the context of a multinational environment. The skills and drive that I developed during my studies have been instrumental for my international success.”
