Summary
**Develop the skills and global mindset needed to solve the international business and management challenges of the future on this full-time master's in International Business.**
Employers have a growing need for business and management graduates who are equipped to be responsible leaders and effective managers in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world.
On this MSc International Business, you will add a sought-after layer of expertise to your management skills, learning how to apply them to complex situations in a global context – such as the conflict in Ukraine, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the evolving effects of climate change.
Within this, you will become highly adept at operating with sensitivity in cross-cultural teams – and learn how to work successfully in emerging markets that do not have established institutions or processes in place.
**Explore real-world issues with experts in the field**
Taught by Loughborough’s experienced industry professionals and active researchers, the programme covers cross-cultural management, business negotiations, global collaboration, international human resource management, and strategic decision-making.
With optional modules spanning digital marketing, social entrepreneurship, finance and information systems, there is also plenty of opportunity to shape the programme to your own interests.
**Gain practical experience through the Loughborough Consultancy Project**
A key element of the MSc International Business is the opportunity to take part in a consultancy project. This allows you to apply theoretical and research-led knowledge from the programme to real-world challenges, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Beyond this, the consultancy experience will boost your employability by demonstrating practical expertise to potential employers. Additionally, the project is structured to maximise networking opportunities and build the confidence you need to graduate ready to make purposeful progress in achieving your career goals.
You will leave the programme well prepared for roles across international business, such as negotiator, business analyst, country or regional manager, sourcing manager, trading executive and business development manager.
