MSc International Business

In the modern period, businesses and organisations are often international. It is a situation to which managers and leaders must respond developing new capabilities and capacities to ensure they can successfully navigate the increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments they inhabit.

Your MSc International Business (MSc IB) is open to graduates from any discipline and is designed to support you in meeting your future career aspirations, whether that be working within an international organisation, launching your own business or social enterprise, engaging in further postgraduate study, or any other challenging and rewarding careers you might wish to pursue after completion of your postgraduate study.

The degree will ensure you hone your professional, analytical and practical capabilities developing an international perspective for business on a journey of exploration guided by subject-specific experts and business practitioners. Your capabilities will be enhanced through ‘augmented learning’ in which classroom-based teaching is supported by a range of learning tasks available to you through your virtual learning environment designed to support your independent learning. At all junctures, learning on the MSc IB emphasises the ethical, social and environmental responsibilities that should guide the behaviour of all international organisations in the contemporary era.

Modules are taught and assessed using a variety of active learning techniques in which you are encouraged to take charge of your own learning through engaging with academic knowledge and research, tutors, case studies, and your peers.
