Course Overview

This course has been designed to equip recent graduates who aspire to manage organisations across national borders with the knowledge and skills to confront the challenges of operating in a global, interconnected world that is increasingly digital - yet also increasingly characterised by risk, uncertainty and complex problems.

During your time with us, you will examine the forces that shape and influence international business decisions and activities whilst exploring emerging issues and trends in the fields of practice and research. You will learn of the challenges and opportunities managers face in core business functions within an international context and develop an appreciation of cultural intelligence as a core capability to interact and lead effectively across cultures. You will develop your digital awareness by exploring the growth of international digital business and will become critically appreciative of what it means for a business to demonstrate responsible leadership and citizenship in global, regional and local situations.

The course is highly industry-focused and culminates in either undertaking an international consultancy project on behalf of a client firm or a work-based internship or placement project. Whichever direction you take, you will put the knowledge that you have learned into practice.
