International Business

MSc International Business programme is open to graduates from any discipline. Work experience is welcome but not necessary.

The programme provides students with the platform from which to understand corporate strategy and actions to address societal grand challenges in global markets, and to build up individual cultural intelligence in delivering effective communication, negotiation and work in a multicultural business environment. The programme also aims to help students establish or consolidate their career path in global firms, start-ups reaching out to international markets, or working for policy makers in international trade and investment.

Through interactive teaching and learning students are expected to develop their critical perspectives on the changing dynamics of multinational firms and small businesses and their relationships with the external environment.

The School of Finance and Management is excited to continue its collaboration with Practera, building on the success of the previous SFM Virtual Industry Projects. These bespoke work-based learning projects are designed to grow your professional skills and network through working with a team of SOAS students to tackle a real-world business challenge.
