Make the move into the fast paced world of international commerce with a degree designed to give you up-to-the-minute knowledge of global management issues. In today's globalised economy, the ability to think and work across boundaries and borders is imperative.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on economics, finance, organisational theory, marketing and human resource management, you examine areas of international business and management in depth, including economic, financial, technological, marketing and managerial issues facing multinational enterprises. This allows you to apply your skills anywhere in the world.
You also receive a thorough grounding in social science research issues and methods, including techniques of quantitative and qualitative data collection, analysis and interpretation. The course includes a Masters thesis (research dissertation) on an international business-related topic.
Graduates will gain partial exemption from membership to the Institute of Export, with the potential of a full exemption depending on the choice of options and research focus of the dissertation.
In addition, there is a possibility in the course to spend a semester at an international partner institution to broaden your horizons and enhance your employability in the global job market. As there are a limited number of exchange places available, the scheme is competitive and you can apply for a place once you are registered on the course.
Module details The course consists of both compulsory and optional taught units. Compulsory course units include: Fundamentals of International Business; Economic Analysis of the Multinational Enterprise; Marketing Issues in International Business; Financial Risk Management for International Business; and Research Methods and Data Analysis. Optional course units include: International Trade: Theory and Policy; International Business Negotiations; International Business, Governments and Competitiveness; International Marketing; Multinational Management; European Integration and International Business; Multinational Enterprises and Economic Development; Mergers and Acquisitions: Economic and Financial Aspects; and Multinationals and Comparative Employment Systems.
