Study abroad

Today’s businesses operate in an increasingly global market. Even those based purely here in the UK are influenced by international trends and events. At Hertfordshire, our BA Business Administration is taught by a respected academic team with extensive international experience, and their insights into global business practices impact every part of the course. You’ll have the opportunity to add an even deeper international dimension to your BA by choosing optional language modules or studying abroad between your Second and Final Years in Europe, North America or Asia.

Work placement

Practical experience can really make your CV stand out to potential employers and our BA Business Administration gives you the option of adding a year-long work placement to your degree. You can either spend 12 months working for your placement company, or six months working and six months studying abroad at one of our partner universities. While you’re working, you’ll be paid by your employer.
