Teaching and Assessment

Whole Course

Our MSc International Business and Economics Course includes six core modules, that range from principles of economics through to contemporary issues in international management – where we consider, reflect and critically appraise a range of management issues including developing international lenses of reference from a theoretical and practical application.

We also delve into international marketing and brand management and financial decision making, looking at a conceptual and analytical framework for looking at organisations operating in capital, financial and operational markets.
