Location of University of Glamorgan
In the modern industrial world, two features stand out – the internationalisation of business management and the importance of enterprise.
This unique masters’ course brings these two aspects together. Whether you are interested in working for a multinational corporation, a small business, or even starting your own company, this course will give you the management knowledge and skills you need for a successful career. One special feature is its concentration on ‘cultural fluency’, which will help you feel comfortable operating in different cultural environments.
The course will examine both the theory and practice of international business, including how exporting, franchising and foreign direct investment (FDI) are analysed and developed. You will also study major themes in managing international business, such as marketing, human resource management, and international finance and control. You will study all of these in the context of international entrepreneurship, looking at international activities of large-scale organisations and the relevance of international activities to small and medium-sized enterprises.
As an enterprise student you will also be given the opportunity to obtain free student membership from the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE). The IOEE is a not for profit professional body within the UK Sector Skills Body for Enterprise (SFEDI) Group which approved Glamorgan as the first Centre of Enterprise Excellence.
Student membership will give you access to a range of resources and support available through the institute and is the first step to becoming an associate member – ideal for anyone looking to start their own business.
