The MSc International Business with Advanced Research programme is designed to help students build a strong understanding of the way organizations operate globally, and help develop specialist skills that enable them to work effectively across national borders. This two-year Advanced Research pathway offers students the opportunity to enjoy a broad experience of study and culture in the UK. They can also benefit from a summer vacation period when they can gain extra work experience, travel or relax.
The first year offers students the opportunity to explore international business in a number of areas, including economics, finance, strategy, marketing, management, human resource, and supply chain management. Whereas the second year modules are aimed at enhancing the skills that learners will require when they graduate – whether it is to continue with their studies or enter employment. Alongside these modules, students will have the opportunity to conduct an independent major research project in their area of interest.
Learners will gain a unique combination of skills sought after by employers all over the world. These include communication, numeracy, team-working, cross-cultural awareness, reflective learning and the ability to critically analyze complex business challenges to reach considered creative solutions.
The MSc International Business with Advanced Research graduates find jobs all over the globe. They gain employment in MNCs, SMEs, non-profitable organizations, family businesses and as entrepreneurs. They work in a variety of sectors such as marketing, HR, operations and supply chain, finance, and in diverse industries, including fashion, education, hospitality, pharmaceutical and engineering. Previous graduates are business developers, senior managers and commercial operation managers in organizations including Royal Mail, Network Rail and BT.
Most importantly, through this programme, students will have developed their skills, understanding and confidence. They'll graduate as a more mature professional, better able to see opportunities, more sensitive to cultural differences, more resilient to cope with stress and change, and capable of operating in a fast-moving global environment.
