The programme encompasses four major themes which integrate a range of topics within international business and management:

Globalisation - the global business environment and the impact of international cultures, politics and economics on global trade.

Global Business Management - how to do business in a global economy through business strategy, international finance, marketing and positioning strategies, and global HR management.

International Corporate Responsibility - business ethics and international corporate dilemmas. You will explore the impact of cultural differences on ethical decision making and how issues of corporate ownership, stakeholder interests and environmental issues create highly complex environments in which managers are expected to act.

Leadership - what makes a good leader and how individuals have developed as global players.

You will have the opportunity to study in a lively atmosphere, alongside a diverse group of students and a team of experienced staff who are committed to professional development. Taught modules provide a balance between the fundamentals of business theory and the global dimension. The programme also addresses ethical business issues such as international corporate responsibility.

The dissertation component allows you to explore in depth a particular aspect that interests you or an issue that concerns you: it may be within your own business setting, or within any aspect of business or global management. Before starting work on the dissertation itself you will spend time developing a fully outlined proposal for it. Research is subject to commercial confidentiality if required.
