International Business at the University of Gdańsk (UG) is a full-time, first-cycle (Bachelor's) programme taught entirely in English at the Faculty of Economics and lasting 3 years (6 semesters). It is aimed at school leavers who want to understand how companies trade, market and finance their activities across borders and who see themselves working in international teams.
The curriculum combines international trade, marketing, transport, finance, globalisation and international business relations. A distinct thread runs through cultural differences in business, which prepares you to work in teams that are diverse in culture and language. You learn to analyse international economic and social phenomena with that cultural context in mind, and some classes are taught together with business practitioners and industry experts.
A large part of the practical work happens in computer labs:
All classes are held in English, and the programme also includes foreign language courses aimed at a high level of proficiency in both speaking and writing.
You can spend part of your studies abroad through Erasmus+, which is widely used at the Faculty of Economics. Bilateral agreements signed by the faculty also open the way to partner universities further afield, including the USA, China, Japan, Australia and Korea. Outside class there are student organisations, research clubs and the international AIESEC network.
