International student CAS deposit

Self-funded international applicants are required to pay a deposit of £2500 towards their tuition fees before a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) is issued. Some applicants will be required to pay a higher deposit. More information on tuition fee deposits .

All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).

We examine the importance of international business, laying the foundations for the study of international management. All aspects of working in overseas markets are examined, including strategy formation and implementation with emphasis on the role and importance of cross-cultural and socially responsible management.

Learning and teaching are generally handled in a face-to-face forum, as students benefit from sharing ideas and experiences with people from different cultural backgrounds.  However, E-learning is used to enhance the student experience, offering opportunities for interaction in different media environments.

• Written assignment (3,000 words)
