Overview

Business is as connected as it has ever been. To be a successful business leader, you need to understand international markets and the way other nations do business.

Our CMI and IOE&IT-accredited MSc International Business and Management with Industrial Placement course is the most far-reaching of our postgrad courses, as it provides a well-rounded knowledge of global management theories and practices. Our graduates gain the transferable and desirable skills of cross-cultural management, problem solving, adaptability and decision making that they can apply to top-calibre management roles in a variety of business environments and functions nationally or globally.

Taking a 12-month industrial placement allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master's. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a placement takes the length of your course to up to two years.
