Why study International Management at Loughborough University?

Uncover what it means to manage successfully in an international organisation and develop an understanding of leadership in a global context.

This programme prepares non-business graduates in the broad, core aspects of business management with a deep focus on the international community.

You will develop key skills and an in-depth understanding of business that will enable you to add value to any organisation. You will focus on the cultural dimensions of international management, such as international market entry strategies, and analyse the critical success factors of different organisations operating internationally.

There is a strategic theme within the programme to give knowledge and skills relevant to middle management and more senior roles in multinational organisations.
