MSc in International Business Management

The aim of the Programme is to provide participants with knowledge in the field of International Business that will be both academically rigorous and vocationally relevant. The core modules of the Programme provide a comprehensive grounding in theoretical and empirical aspects of international business, while the elective modules will allow students to explore issues in the functional areas of international firms. An innovative aspect of this degree Programme is the foreign language-based module in German, Spanish, Portuguese or Mandarin.

Upon successful completion of the Programme, students would have acquired the necessary skills to:

? think analytically and critically, aptitudes which are of crucial importance in today’s continuously changing and turbulent global business environment;

? work at managerial level within an international/multinational organisation;

? work effectively in more than one country;

? recognise and analyse complex management problems in multinational and international firms that deal extensively with foreign firms and to implement the solutions in the context of internationally operating organisations; and

? handle a foreign language, which should provide them with an added edge within the international business sectors. 

The Programme is of relevance to those interested in a professional career in:

(i) international business consultancy;

(ii) the international business management of international/multinational companies, or

(iii) government, public institutions or non-governmental organisations where an in-depth understanding of various aspects of international business, management and strategy is essential.
