Course Overview

This flexible Master’s course develops your strategic and analytical skills so you can apply them confidently to solve international business and management issues, with a particular focus on using data to create new opportunities across a range of international businesses.

In the modern business world, data analysis is a key component in decision making and organisational development. This course builds your skills in data analytics while exploring core areas of business such as strategic and financial management; cross-cultural business competencies; and brand management – all viewed through the lens of developing patterns in world trade and the global marketplace.

You also study the management and development of people in cross-cultural organisations, and gain an appreciation of how cultural differences affect both buying behaviour and marketing approaches.

The Data Analytics units cover a wide range of topics including programming; databases; security; project management; and computer networking, giving you both the underpinning theory and the ability to apply it to complex real-world problems.
