Overview
Our MA in International
Business seeks to develop
well-rounded, thoughtful and
reflective professionals with
excellent skills that will enhance
career prospects. It takes a
critical perspective towards
contemporary attitudes to
management, engaging with
debates regarding the future
of capitalism and the often
problematic relationship between
globalisation, organisation and
the wider social environment.
You will be challenged to engage
with tutors in such debates and
consider your own future role
shaping business and society.
Alongside lectures and seminars,
you will be encouraged to
compete for opportunities
to enhance your experience
through competitively allocated
domestic student consultancy
projects where you can learn on
the job. Modules like Creativity
and Personal Development also
promote applied thinking and
engagement with real businesses.
The school is keen to offer a range
of opportunities in any given
year, but it must be noted that
availability cannot be guaranteed.
Additional information
Our teaching and learning
strategy draws on our academic
community’s commitment to
critical engagement with the
practice of business, reflected
in a range of theoretically and
practically oriented modules.
Following successful completion
of the taught components, you
will develop your own critical
project through completing a
research dissertation or reflect
on everyday practice when
successfully appointed to a
student consultancy project.
