Do you want to study a Masters degree online? The MSc Management and International Business course is an ideal course if you are looking to enhance your employability and take the next step with your career. The course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). It is research and practiced based with an active international, business ethics and sustainability focus. The Course teaches you the fundamental skills and attributes you need to become a successful international manager. You’ll become adept at strategic and tactical business decisions, understanding international cultural differences, and managing and motivating staff in businesses on an international scale through virtual leadership.

You will experience working on projects of an international nature, collaborating online to deliver effective and professional reports and presentations as part of module assessments reflecting the professional practice of international management. Throughout the course, the course team will give you the support you need to realise your potential and we look forward to working with you online to develop your knowledge, understanding and skills for the career of your choice.

What's covered in the course?

Initially in the first stage, you will examine the key challenges faced by global businesses to fully appreciate the complexity and dynamics of leadership and management practice. This will see you broaden your skills in organisation, communication and working with others, particularly within an increasingly diverse cultural context.

During the second stage of your course, you will begin to explore the complexity of international operations management integrated with corporate social responsibility, sustainability and the role of innovation. You’ll be taught international strategy while also developing your research skills in preparation for your major project.

The final core Major Project module is tailored to your career aspirations. The module provides three project options;

  • A work-based study route enabling you to relate the project to a current employer;
  • A ‘consultancy project’ option where you find a client who has an international business problem that you feel you can solve;
  • A traditional dissertation involving an in-depth exploration of both the theory and practice of international business using primary research.

Whatever route you choose, it will give you the opportunity to identify a topic and industry of your choice related to your specialist area of International Business tailoring your degree to enhance your employability for your final chosen career destination. Previous projects have involved International marketing strategy, global supply chain management in the food sector and sustainability issues in the sourcing of cotton.

As an online degree, each module on the course will consist of a series of ‘sessions’. All sessions will be made available from the start of the module - however the activities are kept to a timetable set and managed by the module leader.
