course overview
The BA in Global Business (Canada) combines a broad understanding of international business with intercultural experience and work placements. This degree is unique in that you’ll have the chance to participate in two work placements and earn two business degrees in two countries.
In your four years, you’ll gain the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of the diverse worlds of global and local business.
You’ll spend your first two years in DCU (including a work placement in Ireland), and then your final two years in Brock University (Ontario), our partner in Canada, where you’ll study North American history, politics and business practice, and also have the option to study a second language. Brock University, founded in 1964 at the centre of Canada’s Niagara Peninsula, is the only university in Canada based in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You’ll graduate with two qualifications, one from DCU and one from the partner institution.
