Postgraduate Pathway Programmes

Overview

This programme will enable students to acquire a knowledge and understanding of the political, social and cultural aspects of different trade blocs, particularly the European Union, Asia and the USA.

This programme is designed to provide a coherent academic progression for students who will explore the overall environment in which international business takes place. Core management techniques are analysed from varying perspectives to understand their application on an international scale.

The unique selling point of this programme is the richness from the diverse student base which progresses through this programme of study. Sharing experiences from varied cultural, economic and employment backgrounds is invaluable.

The University regularly ‘refreshes’ courses to make sure they are as up-to-date as possible. The University calls this process 'academic review’. For the most up-to-date course/ module information, please contact the Course Director.

The MSc International Business with Advanced Practice aims to allow you to acquire mastery of both the macro and micro contexts of international business, with the addition of either an internship or applied consulting project.

The compulsory Advanced Practice element of this will enable you to undertake a 15-week long internship, or applied consulting project, working with a real organisation on a live business problem. This gives you the opportunity to gain experience of the workplace environment and/or practical experience of the “real world” issues faced by those currently engaged in international business.

The Extended MSc International Business with Advanced Practice not only allows entry for students with qualifications equivalent to a standard degree (third-class, pass or ordinary) but also integrates a work internship or an applied consulting project before your final semester, offering you an opportunity to gain valuable workplace environment experience.
