Course Description
To operate effectively in international markets, leaders must possess essential skills and experience, including an awareness of the impact of cultural diversity, the challenges of international leadership, and the challenges of cross-border operational communications.
Over the course of one academic year, our MA International Business Management students will receive advanced tuition through studying topics critical to the success of managing international business, including Assembling and Managing High-Performance Teams across Cultures, International Entrepreneurship and Innovation, International Business Research, and International Digital Marketing.
Students must read from relevant academic sources appropriate to postgraduate study, including journal articles, recommended texts, and industry publications. Students work autonomously and interactively (within groups) on exercises to develop skills to demonstrate progress at the Master’s level. The College’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), with access to study materials, lecture handouts, and additional information related to their course, also provides flexibility for students to engage in off-site learning. Additionally, formative and summative assessment tasks enhance opportunities for learning. These typically include, but are not restricted to, research, critical analysis, ethical approaches, systematic problem solving, presentations, teamwork and academic, personal and employability skills development.
