Course Description

Delivered in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Management, the MSc International Business programme draws on the talents of internationally respected scholars and highly respected teachers whose expertise covers all areas of the discipline.

We use fundamentally the same syllabus as taught on the International Business MSc programme in the UK and the same team of Business School academic staff travels to Singapore in order to deliver all of the modules.

For graduates wishing to develop a career in international business, a wide range of opportunities exists. Our experienced academics and marketing experts will offer unique insights into subjects such as globalisation, the international aspects of strategic management, accounting and finance, corporate governance, e-commerce, global talent management, marketing, organisation of multinational corporations, operations and procurement and cross cultural communication.

Accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for the purpose of meeting, in part, the academic and experience requirement of membership and Chartered Biologist (CBiol).
