Key Course Facts

Course Description

International management requires agile thinkers with an advanced set of management skills to do successful business across borders. Managers are required to have globally reaching leadership skills with an appreciation of cultural nuance and globalisation.

MSc Management (International) is perfect if you do not have a first degree in business, or relevant work experience in management.

As one of our Master of management pathways, you will study a core spine of management and organisational issues in term one. You will then specialise in international management in your second term where you will explore issues like globalisation, international business challenges and cross-cultural management. Through these optional modules, you can align your course with your career aspirations so that you graduate with a perfectly tailored Masters degree in international management.

MSc Management (International) covers contemporary management issues, such as:

  • building an international business strategy
  • managing teams across cultures
  • corporate social responsibility across multiple markets

We ensure that your education in management is both theoretical and practical, allowing you to develop expertise in a chosen area of international management.

At Essex Business School we champion responsible management and sustainable business. We want to change business for the better and empower our students to do this too. We’re an internationally diverse community with students and staff joining us from across the globe offering the ideal context for studying international management.
