Careers
The International Business major is designed to give students a good grounding in the managerial aspects of conducting business across national borders. It provides students with a chance to study the essential parts of running a business from an international point of view. As a result, a student who graduates with an International Business major can demonstrate to employers in multinational business organisations that they are aware of some of the important parts of their business.
The international business major should lead to employment opportunities in: large businesses that trade or invest outside of Greece, international businesses in Greece which need local employees with an international perspective, domestic businesses with international customers (eg. tourism and trading companies), government bodies and NGOs which have activities internationally.
