International Business. MSc
The overall aim of the MSc International Business is to educate individuals as managers and business specialists in preparation for effective roles in the international business arena, or for further research.
The focus of Canterbury Christ Church University's MSc International Business course is on the development of the whole person in acquiring the skills and attributes necessary for the leaders, entrepreneurs and policy-makers of tomorrow in management, strategy and decision-making and communication. It also equips you with marketable analytical skills and personal attributes required for a career in the modern international business world. Graduates can also engage in further research on an MPhil/PhD programme.
As we enter a period of dramatic economic and political change, there has never been a more exciting time to study international business. Today’s businesses operate in a dynamic global business environment in which managers have to deal with rapidly changing markets and a climate of high uncertainty.
These challenges call for new skills and new thinking as businesses strive to reinvent themselves. The MSc International Business has been carefully crafted to reflect the complex, dynamic and multifaceted character of this contemporary subject area.
This course is ideal for UK students who want to develop their knowledge of business and management in an international context. It is also a frequent choice for both EU and international students due to the cross-cutting themes in marketing, strategy, finance, human resources and career development.
