Top-up degree in International Business

This is a one-year top-up degree that takes you into the third year of a bachelor's programme. It is run by IBA in Kolding and awarded by Coventry University in the UK. The programme is taught, delivered and assessed by IBA, and Coventry University quality assures it. You finish with a Coventry University degree award.

What you study

The programme has seven modules. They are:

• Principles of Strategy
• Management of E-commerce
• Academic English for International Business
• International Human Resource Management
• International Logistics
• International Marketing
• Understanding International Business

These cover the business functions you will meet in an international company, plus the academic skills to handle them at degree level.

Admission, language and next steps

To be accepted, you normally need at least two years of post-secondary education in a business-related area. That could be a Danish AP degree or equivalent, or 240 CATS (APL with 120 credits at level 1 and 120 credits at level 2). Higher National Diploma and Associate Degree qualifications are also accepted.

English language requirements must be met, equivalent to IELTS 6.0. Check the IBA website for the full requirements and exemptions.

The programme is taught in English. The tuition fee is set by the institution. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other students pay a fee.

After the top-up degree, you can go on to a master's degree. The degree also prepares you for work in an international company, with skills for marketing, financing and human resource management in a global market.
