Course Overview

The overall aim of International Business Management MSc at the Amsterdam Campus is to allow you to focus on the global business environment with an emphasis on managing international organisations, and special attention to the cultural challenges of extending operations across multiple countries.

Designed to develop broad business skills while offering specialist knowledge in international management for tomorrow's business leaders, this course welcomes applicants from any undergraduate background, including those who have no previous business or management experience but have an interest in problem-solving and critical thinking.

Throughout the course you will gain critical business intelligence knowledge and develop a strong understanding of global business. A combination of modules in leadership and management development, research methods and analytics for business, global consumers and marketplace, creativity and innovation, globalisation, innovation and sustainability, and international business: context and challenge, will prepare you for global business challenges.
