Bachelor in International Business

International Business (E-BA)

Competition is increasing in the international market, making the demand for skilled employment within the areas of marketing, economics and human resources even higher. Especially if one person is able to work with different assignments across all fields.

Our BA degree in International Business gives you the most important tools you need to solve the kinds of complex challenges that occur when working in an international environment.

You will gain insights into specific techniques and methods within financial management, intercultural communication, and human resource management, enabling you to work on your assignments in a very professional way.

The bachelor in international business is a part-time and international program, offered by Leeds Beckett University in co-operation with IBA International Business Academy in Kolding, and is 100% via e-learning. It is a top-up program that corresponds to the third year of a full-time bachelor and builds on top of two year programs like the Danish AP degrees or the British DipHE or HND programs.

E-learning

Choosing an e-learning program gives you maximum freedom and flexibility during your studies. The classes are a combination of live online seminars and teaching via our digital platform. All seminars are recorded, so you can watch them regardless of time and place.

What is e-Learning?

E-Learning programs are programs that are offered online or through distance learning, and put simply, studying by distance learning means you don't have to be based in Kolding to take one of our courses. Wherever you are, you may study with us.

When you choose one of our e-learning programs, you can study at a distance, at a time and pace that suit you.

Our e-Learning Team

We've been running e-learning courses at the IBA since 1996 and welcome students across the world - from Denmark to Argentina and Australia to Canada.

Our dedicated e-Learning team consists of specialists who make sure that our students have a great education and a great experience.

We ensure that:

• Each course is the same quality and level as a course studied on our campus and internationally
• The teaching and learning materials are chosen and designed to help you learn and succeed while studying at home
• The support we provide to e-Learning students is prompt, efficient and helpful
• Our academic staff are subject experts and dedicated to delivering great courses that help our e-learning students thrive in their careers and lives.

Benefits of e-Learning

• E-learning is a great way to progress further in your career - you can balance the demands of your course with your everyday commitments, allowing you to keep working while you learn.
• You don't have to come on to campus to attend lectures and seminars, so you won’t have to worry about relocating.
• Since there are no borders limiting our activities, our e-learning programs are truly international awarding internationally recognized degrees.
• You'll have the option to study at home after the kids have gone to bed, in a library, in a coffee shop - or even on the bus. In fact, if you can access the internet, you can access nearly everything you need for our e-learning courses.
• All our e-learning courses have start dates twice a year, giving you added options.
• Any qualification you earn from us by e-learning is of equal value to one obtained studying on campus.
• As well as having access to both the IBA’s and Leeds Beckett University’s libraries and electronic databases, you can use other university libraries, so you’ll have the benefit of learning resources close to where you live.
• All e-programs are split up into modules giving you flexibility and enabling you to control your own learning progression.
• You can get on and off “the train” at any time

Support While You Study

We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring you have a great experience with us. When signing up, all e-learning students are given access to online information, which specifies exactly what is expected from you - and what you can expect from us.

Just because you aren't learning on campus doesn't mean you'll have to cope on your own - you'll have the support of dedicated academic staff while studying the individual modules, and our administrative personnel will be on hand to offer you advice about everything from academic issues to stress and anxiety.

Tools for Learning

Our students log in to a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) instead of attending lectures or seminars in person. The VLE gives you access to course materials such as videos, e-books and other documents. You also use it to discuss the course material with your tutors and peers and to submit your assignments and receive feedback.

As well as through the VLE, you'll communicate with us through our online webinars, and emails.

There is also an opportunity to attend an annual residential at Leeds Beckett University if you like.
