Our International Business and Management Master's programme gives you the skills you need to unlock a wide range of global management opportunities.

You will develop a solid foundation of management knowledge, and a significant and detailed understanding of the issues that confront businesses operating on an international scale, such as:

• rationales for international expansion
• foreign market entry modes
• theories of international business strategy
• the role and influence of culture in international business
• cross-cultural management

The programme is flexible - optional modules allow you to tailor your studies to your personal career aspirations. A research method module gives you the tools you need to generate and analyse business intelligence, and you’ll be able to explore a topic of your choice in depth for the dissertation, under the supervision of an expert academic.

You’ll also have the opportunity to study abroad at our European partner institutions.

This programme is designed to provide you with a sound understanding of the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings in management as well as to reflect best practice and innovative thinking and research in international business education and practice. The Master's in International Business and Management focuses on exploring the international activities of firms.
