Our International Business and Management with Professional Experience MSc is a two-year course that combines academic study with extended professional practice.

As part of the course, you will study the same modules as our one-year MSc and undertake a placement or internship of at least 500 hours to gain industry experience, build connections and enhance your employment prospects.

This course will help you advance your knowledge of management theory and practice and build the analytical, strategic and leadership skills needed for senior roles in today’s globally connected business environment. The course will also enable you to strengthen your critical thinking, analytical and communication capabilities, enabling you to make evidence-based decisions and solve complex business and management problems with confidence.

The key areas of study range from Business Strategy, Sustainability, Branding and Marketing, Digital Technologies, Leadership and Managing People. You will explore how business challenges intersect with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, preparing you to lead responsibly and make a meaningful impact.

At Westminster, learning is practical, active and interactive. Through live case studies, business simulations, real-world projects and guest lectures from industry experts, you will be able to apply your knowledge in ways that mirror professional practice.

Based in central London, with many world-renowned companies nearby, we will create opportunities for you to network, gain professional insights and build connections that enhance your career prospects.
