The MSc in Management and International Business provides future managers with a grounding in the key functional areas of Business. The International Business route aims to help managers become fully aware of the complex issues faced by international companies in marketing, human resource management and finance, and to select the best strategy that will enable their company to prosper in this turbulent environment.
We have recently introduced a new framework for our full-time Masters in Management programme, covering some significant and exciting developments that have come about through consultation with our students, staff and alumni. The new framework will facilitate greater engagement with external businesses and organisations, leading to an enhanced student learning experience.

Please note the following information for applicants
International corporations are dominating a large proportion of world trade today. While much business is still conducted at a local level, the complex phenomenon called globalisation is affecting businesses even on the street corner.
The rapid development of economies in Asia and elsewhere, the steady erosion of barriers to trade overseen by the World Trade Organisation’s agreements, and the search for global economies of scale to offset increasing costs of research and development have resulted in an unprecedented growth in international trade.
In this turbulent environment, managers need to be fully aware of the complex issues faced by all companies (whether international or not) in order to select the best strategy to enable their company to prosper.

Graduate employability
Graduate destinations from this course include, senior management positions, IS careers, international employment and marketing roles. A sizeable proportion of students join graduate management trainee programmes and some have been offered jobs with the SME company for whom they completed their consultancy project as part of the course.
Career development
As part of the course, careers advisers will run a series of workshops where students can identify methods and strategies to enable them to effectively pursue their career goals. The workshops will focus on both home and international students and concentrate on developing skills and occupational awareness.
Although this course does not currently offer a placement, the applied Consultancy Project provides the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge gained from the previous modules within a real life UK business setting. The Consultancy Project enables you to undertake an assignment to develop your consultancy skills and gain a detailed understanding of the management and operation of a modern business.
The consultancy project
Designed to integrate and operationalise theory, the consultancy project provides groups of programme members with the opportunity to put theory into practice in a real life UK business setting. The module aims to develop the capacity to work as part of a management team through active participation in a live consultancy project, and to enhance the ability to communicate clearly; argue rationally; and apply strategic concepts to produce real business solutions - given time constraints and conditions of uncertainty.
Real-world experience
All of our courses are vocationally-oriented, providing the skills and experience that are relevant to and valued by employers. The real-world consultancy project, carried out in collaboration with local organisations, continues to be a key factor in the success of our courses and one on which we are keen to build. The new framework, in which the consultancy experience forms the basis of a 40-credit project, has preserved and extended this opportunity to provide you with work-based experience that is of genuine value to your future career.
