Summary
Our intensive one-year MSc Management with a specialism in International Business is for graduates from a wide range of subject backgrounds. It is not necessary to have any prior academic or practical experience in business or management.
This programme is for students who aspire to management-level and leadership roles in international organisations within their chosen industry. Due to the increasing globalisation of organisations, work and society, this specialism in international business will be relevant to any future career. It will especially suit students pursuing careers in an international organisation.
Our MSc Management pathways provide an introduction to management followed by a detailed exploration of a specific area of management theory and practice in international business. The programme attracts students from around the globe and you will be part of a cohort with a variety of backgrounds and interests.
You will develop an in-depth understanding of the theories and practices that enable you to explore the features, organisational processes and challenges of international businesses, critically evaluating how they are affected by social, institutional and political influences.
We aim to guide, teach and develop analytical and confident critical thinkers. You will gain insight into the nature of management and international business and apply theory to practice through in-class discussions of real cases and practical methods. Group work and presentations, often based on industry case studies, allow practical application of theory and develop the teamwork and communication skills expected in today's workplace.
This programme will help you to:
-
Apply management techniques drawn from a range of disciplines such as marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, strategy, finance and accounting, marketing to management in organisations.
-
Understand the nature of management, the complexity of organisations and management’s role and responsibility in addressing societal and global challenges.
-
Reflect upon the wider challenges that organisations face and critically engage with ethical and sustainability issues as they arise.
-
Prepare for a career in management and leadership roles in your chosen industry with expert knowledge in your specialist subject.
Graduates from this programme will benefit from studying at a top 10 UK university (QS World University Rankings 2024) and learning from leading academics whose research tackles the global societal issues facing modern management. 88% of our business and management research is rated as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (REF 2021), reflecting its impact on shaping policy and practice.

| Entry requirements | You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in any discipline. If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your grades are slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements, if you have a relevant postgraduate qualification. If this is the case, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications.
