Course overview

MSc International Management is an exciting one-year full-time programme which will equip you with advanced global leadership skills to accelerate your career in business in a technology-driven world.

Offering a truly global experience, you will take part in international opportunities embedded throughout, including Leadership in Action - an international consulting experience - as well as a two-day European Immersion trip exploring technology and innovation in a capital city, and optional exchange opportunities.

This gives you the opportunity to study at another business school for up to one term as part of the MSc International Management programme, providing an enhanced, authentic global study experience.
