Course content

Programme Overview

With the increasing globalisation of business and the revolution in information and communications technologies, no company can afford to ignore the international dimension of strategy. Most, if not all, companies require internationalisation strategies, be they simply export or franchising arrangements, or complex and risky international joint ventures and/or foreign direct investment. These activities require knowledge and skills in understanding the international business environment. The MSc Startegy and International Business provides a rigorous and comprehensive coverage of strategy and international business issues in both developed and developing countries.

Outline of Programme

The strategy component of the degree aims to give students the knowledge and skills required to analyse companies' strategic situations and to solve complex strategic problems. The international business component of the degree aims to develop the knowledge and skills required for assessing and developing internationalisation strategies and operations, as well as skills entailed in international and cross-cultural management. Complete outlines for all modules are available online.

Information for international students
