Our Management and International Business course provides the opportunity to combine the theory and practice of management with the completion of an in-depth dissertation on international business. You’ll become adept at strategic tactical business decisions, understanding cultural differences, and managing and motivating staff on an international scale.

Previous graduates have secured jobs as personal bankers, project officers and event invest managers, for companies including G4S and Explicit Empire Entertainment.

Assessing the task of management in today’s international business environment, our course closely examines theories of cultural difference and the application of effective management practices to different cultural contexts.
