The Master's degree in International Management at Birkbeck, University of London examines the essentials of cross-border management theory and practice, and the core principles and practice of business and organisations in an international context. Students will gain a broad knowledge and expertise in the design and implementation of strategy at different levels of the corporate organisation, particularly in an international dimension.
A range of option modules in international business and management as well as specific functional areas allow students to tailor their studies to own personal or career requirements. Students will then use their critical analysis and independent judgement skills to write a dissertation framing solutions to complex managerial problems in international business organisations.
The programme also allows students to develop personal and generic skills that are transferable to a wide range of research, teaching and work situations, including the skills of self-discipline, reflection, analysis, communication, leadership and lifelong learning.
