BSc in International Business & Service Management

You are here: Home / Academic / Business & Economics / BSc in International Business & Service Management
Overview

About the Programme


The tourism industry is currently one of the largest service industries in the world; employing approximately 10% of the global labour force and contributing to about 6% of world exports. Tourism shares the characteristics of many international service industries; for the Omani economy, however, it is unique as it offers the basis for a viable economic diversification and employment creation on the one side, and it is highly competitive due to Oman’s unique tourism product on the other. This programme will therefore equip you with business knowledge and skills focusing on this vital service sector. The programme will also consider tourism via the prism of sustainability; providing the skills and the knowledge that can ensure that growth of this sector will not be at the expense of the society or the environment but rather enriching them. 

Career Opportunities

  • Ethics – The graduates have developed awareness and holistic understanding of their role as responsible citizens in an increasingly globalised context. 
  • Critical thinking and problem solving – The graduates are able to engage real-world problems in a theoretically informed, rigorous, and questioning manner. They are able to devise solutions, select the most appropriate one, implement it, and reflect on its performance. 
  • Creative thinking – The graduates are able to think laterally and develop creative ideas. 
  • Individual and team work – The graduates have the capability to work effectively alone or in a team, to be self-directed, and to show independent judgment. 
  • Communication – The graduates are effective communicators, using oral, written, and electronic communication skills. They can interact confidently in a variety of settings, with a range of people from both genders, individually and in team situations, from peers to the wider community. 
  • Life-long-learning – The graduates appreciate that learning is continuous and have the ability to continue learning throughout life. They have developed a variety of approaches to learning, including self-directed, collaborative and self-reflective processes. 

Graduates from the BSc in International Business & Service Management will also have developed the following programme-specific attributes and skills: 

  • Interdisciplinary thinking: The nature of the study programme requires the students to develop interdisciplinary skills which allow them to see issues from different perspectives and understand the influence of one discipline on another. These skills enable the students to effectively solve complex issues using creative solutions from different disciplinary approaches. 
  • Theoretical knowledge: Comprehension of the theoretical concepts underpinning the study of international business and service management. The program also allows the students to relate such theories to wider national and international economic and social issues. 
  • Methodological diversity: Skills for applying a diverse range of methods of analysis, evaluation and promotion, including quantitative (e.g. econometrics), qualitative (e.g. empirical social research), IT- based (e.g. GIS techniques), and communication-driven approaches (e.g. expert interview, or discussion moderation). Students are encouraged to carry out fieldwork and investigate real life situations. 
  • Communication skills: Expertise in incorporating views and interests of various stakeholders from business, tourism, regional and central government, private companies, and representatives of local communities into strategic concepts. 
  • Innovation and entrepreneurial skills: Application of innovative approaches in acquiring and presenting knowledge and dealing with business cases and projects. A focus is set on developing entrepreneurial skills matching national priorities. 
  • Analytical and reflective thinking: Understanding the complexity of managing and promoting tourism as a successful international service business. The programme also enables the students to critically assess and carefully consider the cultural, environmental, and economic impact of global business activities such as tourism. Participants should be able to use critical and analytical thinking in selecting appropriate development models and rejecting others depending on the profile of the region and communities they are dealing with.
