MA International Retail Business, Sustainability & Technologies

This programme will provide you with fundamental knowledge of the retail industry, introduce you to a diverse range of contemporary issues, and teach you skills in creative and cutting-edge solutions based on core intellectual and practical frameworks.

• This Masters combines retail business/management studies with a deep exploration of sustainability principles and practice, technological solutions to contemporary challenges, and building the requisite skills of leadership to drive these solutions forward.

• The programme differs from conventional retail management courses that exclusively or predominantly focus on the narrow 'management' aspects of retail business. Instead, we adopt a multi-disciplinary approach that introduces you to a diverse range of contemporary issues, and provides knowledge and professional skills in cutting-edge solutions based on three core areas of expertise: International Retail Business, Sustainability and Leadership, and Retail Data and Technology.
