The main emphasis of this 16-month programme is on the development of leadership and management skills through critical awareness and strategic thinking about the dynamic world of business.
It鈥檚 also a highly topical programme.听 Our MSc will give you an understanding of contemporary management issues in an ever-changing business environment, and the chance to apply your knowledge to real-life management challenges, through such opportunities as an internship to extend your practical skills and experience.
This programme prepares you for a huge variety of business roles in a global context, whether you鈥檙e interested in entrepreneurship, global innovation, corporate strategy, consultancy or multinational management. Not only that, you will also have gained both a UK and US degree with one programme, creating more opportunities on graduation.
Our MSc International Business Management programme will equip you with an understanding of international business organisations, their cultures, and the changing global environment in which they operate. Our staff and students are drawn from all over the world with widely varied expertise, making this MSc a truly international programme.
The MSc begins with a study of contemporary management ideas and practice, looking at such topics as Business Communication Skills which are vital both for personal development and career progression within any industry. Advanced English for Business Studies will extend these communication skills even further, highly relevant for both English speaking students and non-English speakers.
Other courses in the first semester (Fall starters) including Managing Across Cultures and Quantitative Analysis for Decision Makers will enhance your critical thinking and teamwork skills in a highly interactive and stimulating environment.
In the second semester (Fall starters), courses including International Business, Leadership Development and Sustainable Business Strategies, will examine future trends in business, from the changing role of business in society to the impact that rapidly evolving technology has on business in a global context. In our two finance courses, you will explore crucial questions surrounding international trade, global financial markets, regulation, pricing, how to evaluate financial performance, the psychology of financial decision making and the importance of interest rates and exchange rates for international business.
Extend your business skills knowledge with the courses in the third semester which encompass research, operations management and how to market international products and services.
You鈥檒l have the choice in the final semester of doing either an internship with a dissertation or an extended research project, both great opportunities to provide hands-on experience to increase your employability.
Throughout, you will be learning from faculty who have global industry experience, as well as invited guest speakers, providing you with a solid foundation in strategic business management.
The programme is delivered over 16 months full-time from the start of September or January.

Head of 六合彩现场直播 Business School
鈥淢y time spent at 六合彩现场直播 was much different from my previous university in the sense that it was much more hands-on. The University enabled me to experience PR and advertising first-hand, through their internship programme.
Throughout my internship, I had regular contact with my University mentor, who always helped to point me in the right direction. I feel as though the inclusion of an internship programme in the degree had a hugely positive impact on my study at 六合彩现场直播, as I was truly able to put all the theory they had taught me over the years into practice.
Lastly, the combination of both a US and UK degree was a privilege as I had always hoped to perhaps work in the US one day and with this double accredited degree, this would be much easier to accomplish now.
鈥淭he MA Advertising & PR course means I will carry into my professional career a new level of balance, discipline, adaptability, and organisational skills for a successful future.鈥
鈥淚 decided to study my MA at 六合彩现场直播 as I only wanted to pursue a postgraduate degree if it was practical and relevant to my career, so 六合彩现场直播 was a perfect fit for me.
I鈥檝e really enjoyed writing press releases, creating advertising and PR plans and even presenting, which was scary initially but we did so many presentations throughout the year that by the end, I was really comfortable with it.
I was very fortunate as I did a summer internship with a PR agency who specialise in healthy food and drink and natural beauty brands, where I was able to put what I learned at 六合彩现场直播 to use. Shortly after, they offered me a permanent position as a Junior Account Executive, so it鈥檚 worked out brilliantly.鈥
