MSc Management and International Business with Work Placement

Our MSc Management and International Business course explores how to manage effectively in an increasingly global work environment. It builds the powerful, practical skills you need to deal with the problems faced by managers working internationally.

This course explores how to manage effectively in increasingly global work environments. You will develop a strong understanding of the global supply chain, as well as how organisations within it perform in relation to one another. An experience-based module also gives you the opportunity to work abroad, developing skills and experience of operating in an overseas context.

During your studies, you will focus on international value chains and cross cultural management issues, consider how organisations capture value through new product and services and deliver value through international operations and supply chains. In addition, you will study how cultural, linguistic and physical barriers affect organisations and how, in turn, organisations respond in order to adapt to those barriers. You will then have the opportunity to take part in a business case for ‘going global’ over a period of four weeks including spending one of those weeks abroad.
