MSc International Business

International Business is focused on organisations that do not limit their operations to a single nation state, such as Citigroup and Google. The MSc programme in International Business considers why these organisations exist, how they are successful in the ever-changing global environment, and what their activities mean for the different countries in which they do business.

This programme provides students with the knowledge and skills required to survive and thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. Students will gain an understanding of the tools, techniques and practical skills associated with operating an organisation across borders, and an appreciation of the interactions between firms, governments and society in an international context.

Normally a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University in Business or Management or other relevant social science discipline related to international business.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of backgrounds so may consider previous managerial work experience alongside lower academic qualifications. We also welcome prior experiential learning in social science disciplines that engage significantly with international business topics and/or involve some form of cross-national or international academic activity. The University's Recognition of Prior Learning Policy provides guidance on the assessment of experiential learning (RPEL). Please visit http://go.qub.ac.uk/RPLpolicy for more information.
