About

Introduction:

Our Masters in Management courses will help you shape your leadership and management skills to become an effective manager, able to operate in dynamic and complex organisational environments. You will gain an excellent understanding of the core subjects, enabling you to put to theory and contemporary thinking into practice.

The MSc Management (International Business) award offers an opportunity to specialise in work and management in organisations where their role concerns operations across national borders or globally through the study of international HRM, strategic global supply chain management, international marketing, and networks and international strategic alliances.

The unique selling points for this course are personalisation, application of learning into real world practice, an opportunity to take part in an International Experience overseas, and studying Responsible and Sustainable Management.

In your third semester, you’ll choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use your skills in a real-world setting, you can choose from completing a consultancy experience project or a business research project.
