Our MSc International Business course recognises the international nature of modern-day commerce and develops the skills you need to successfully negotiate the realities of business management in a global context. You will develop an in-depth understanding of this ever-growing area of contemporary business through core and optional modules and will complete a practical business project or a research-based dissertation.
The core modules consider global business strategy, international business management, leadership in a global context, business environment in emerging economy, advanced data, digital and global business analytics, global environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility, and global marketing management. The range of optional modules offers the flexibility to tailor the course to your interests and aspirations, including studies in international entrepreneurship, international business finance and technology (ib-fintech), international human resource management, digital innovation and new media in international business, and East Asian business and management.
Fittingly, this one-year full-time course offers a significant international element to your learning. You will have the opportunity to participate in international study tours and summer schools with our overseas academic and business partners and also complete your dissertation abroad.
On campus, you will be able to take part in events and activities that will enhance your business knowledge and experience.
