This programme goes beyond simply addressing trade issues between countries by encouraging critical analysis of what makes a business competitive in the international arena. It provides a unique learning experience based upon students' needs and graduate opportunities.
This unique programme is a cooperative venture initiated by seven internationally recognised universities as part of the "International Business School Alliance" (IBSA).
Core modules:
Specialisation:
Drawing on the core disciplines of Novancia, entrepreneurship and commerce, the MSc in International Business Development and Consulting Programme offers a cross-disciplinary approach to international business with the aim of developing two distinct profiles of international business experts.
The first profile is the international business developer. These "front-liners" are directly involved in their businesses at the grassroots level, having strong abilities to conduct rapid and effective business development abroad.
The second profile is the international consultant. These "back-liners" enable internationalisation through consultancy, advice and support for top managers.
By combining pedagogy in international business and entrepreneurship our specialisation is designed to help you become that rare breed of manager who has both the top rate analytical skills and the creative wherewithal to bring projects to fruition in the international arena.
