Study Information

Study Options

This Masters programme draws on the expertise of staff from the School of Social Science and the Business School to deliver a clear understanding of contemporary links between various uses of coercion by states and non-state actors and the complexities of managing large and small organisations in the modern governmental, economic and business environment.

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of world affairs and specific issues that challenge business constantly, while developing the skills and knowledge needed to steer business and organisations through or around conflict. You will look at negotiation, selling, business rhetoric, communication, and web presence, and learn to apply economic and sociology theories and techniques to a number of business situations. You will then look at decision making and effective leadership, the invention of new goods and services and the delivery of change.

Furthermore, you will develop skills essential to analyse current international issues. With the option to attend research seminars organised by the Centre for Global Development and Centre for Global Security and Governance, you are able to learn about the latest research in the field while studying at a Top 20 UK University (Guardian University Guide 2024).
