World. Future. You. Your Guide to a Dynamic Global Career.

Why is it so important for a business student to learn about the WORLD?

Business operates on a global scale. Whether you work for a large multinational or a small company, we’re all impacted by global trade and interconnected markets.

On the other hand, the culture within businesses is often still distinctly local, as evidenced by some of the unsuccessful business mergers that have fallen apart primarily due to cultural differences.

[Students at HULT] understand these global forces, to be able to work in teams from very different cultural backgrounds, and to have the opportunity to gain international exposure by rotating across our TEXT campus network.

What role does the theme of the FUTURE play?
The world is changing rapidly, with new technologies changing the nature of jobs and how entire industries will function.

For example, a recent PwC report forecasts that up to 40% of jobs may be automated by 2030. Likewise, Dell predicts that 85% of jobs in 2030 haven’t yet been invented.

[Hult students] are exposed to the technologies that are disrupting entire industries. Whether it’s 3D printing and virtual reality disrupting the healthcare industry or artificial intelligence and machine learning disrupting lots of industries including trade, students will have the opportunity to think critically about the risks and opportunities around these new technologies.

How does learning about YOURSELF benefit a business student?
Several studies have shown that self-awareness is key, and that having both soft and technical skills are as valuable as having specific knowledge.

Students need to reflect on their own strengths and development areas, and that all our courses not only teach our students theory, but also have them practicing what they learn for themselves, with a strong emphasis on skill-building in every single course.
