It will particularly interest you if you wish to pursue a career in companies where international activities play an important part.

Visiting professors from international universities and the diverse cultural mix of students make us the ideal location to study international business. The MSc International Business is also taught in Canada at Malaspina University College, Vancouver Island as part of a combined MBA/MScIB programme.
We offer a varied programme of teaching that includes facilitated seminars, practical workshops, web-based learning, case study analysis and traditional lectures. We also provide sessions by visiting staff, practitioners and consultants to give a varied perspective of the topics covered.
