This MSc in International Business at Birkbeck, University of London is distinctive in the way it presents the multidisciplinary context of international business and promotes a connection with cognate fields such as management, business, economics and organisation studies.
Compulsory modules provide core training in principles of international business and management and research methods, and a range of option modules allow students to focus on specific areas according to their personal interests or career requirements, including economics and finance, marketing, employment relations and human resource management, business ethics, globalisation and development. Students may further tailor the programme to their needs by writing a dissertation on a topic that particularly interests students, using research-based skills which are emphasised throughout the programme.
On completing the programme students will have the knowledge, skills and competencies to analyse critical issues in international business with qualitative and quantitative methods, and to design and implement international business strategy and policy development. This Master's degree is particularly relevant if students are, or would like to be, a manager with responsibility for international business and policy affairs in a private or public sector organisation.
