Course Description

Respond to the growing internationalisation of business and management practice. Our International Business Management master’s celebrates the diversity of living and working across cultures. It focuses on the skills, competencies and knowledge necessary for individuals working in today’s global business environment.

The opportunities, and challenges, for international businesses are becoming ever more complex. Increased mobility and globalisation of populations create new market opportunities and product possibilities. Businesses are seeking responsible managers who can:

  • work across cultures
  • capitalise on the opportunities presented by this rapidly developing and dynamic business landscape

This course combines subject area and practice-focused integrative skills modules with an individual project. You’ll:

  • develop your knowledge and experience of thinking and working like an international manager
  • gain a rich introduction to the complexity of globalisation and cultural difference
  • progress to developing effective international strategies and managing change
  • cultivate a greater understanding of contemporary business issues

You’ll enhance your management ‘toolkit’ through:

  • our links to industry
  • an employability strategy running throughout your master’s
  • the opportunity to engage with international collaboration/exchange
