Course description

To be amongst the next generation of global business leaders, it is important to understand the opportunities and challenges of international businesses. Building businesses in emerging, developing or developed countries depends on how you tackle the international challenges including language barriers, global team management, cultural differences, political risks to name a few. This degree will provide you with the practical skills and knowledge of international business practices, to support you to deal with these challenges.

In international business today it is necessary to critically analyse and evaluate international business theories by covering the economic, political, ethical, social, legal and technical environment within businesses. Global leaders should promote the role of information within a knowledge-based economy. This includes an identification of approaches to data generation, data manipulation, data assessment, analysis and dissemination in international business research.

On the course you will have the opportunity to develop your practical transferable skills including strategic planning at a global level, decision-making, accountability, business economics, data analytics, research methods, market intelligence and operations management.

It is designed to equip you with the critical insights and knowledge you need to make a positive contribution to the world of global business, and to provide you with you the practical knowledge and analytical skills you need to develop and lead effective strategic change.

The MSc International Business is designed for graduates and professionals planning to start or who want to develop businesses in emerging, developing or developed countries. The course also provides preliminary training for those who wish to pursue further research for a PhD in international business or international entrepreneurship.
