COURSE OVERVIEW
Drawing upon the Department of Management's areas of research expertise, our MSc Management with International Business and Development provides a solid grounding in key aspects of business and management while allowing you to specialise through a range of option modules focusing on international business and development.
The course examines the essentials of management theory and practice and the core principles and practice of business and organisations in a local and international context. You will gain a broad knowledge and expertise in the design and implementation of strategy at different levels of the corporate organisation and of other types of organisation such as public, not-for-profit and cooperative. Specialist options provide an overview of the dynamic relationship between international business activities and economic and social development due to the accelerated globalisation of national economies.
You will then use your critical analysis and independent judgement skills to write a dissertation setting out solutions to complex managerial problems in all types of organisation.
This Master's course differs from the typical MBA in that it covers fewer subjects but in more depth. You will learn more than just the current management fashions and buzzwords: you will also learn about the evidence upon which management theories are based.
