International Business
Key Information
Overview

Our MA in International Business seeks to develop well-rounded,
thoughtful and reflective professionals with excellent skills that
will enhance career prospects. It takes a critical perspective towards
contemporary attitudes to management, engaging with debates
regarding the future of capitalism and the often problematic
relationship between globalisation, organisation and the wider
social environment. You will be challenged to engage with tutors
in such debates and consider your own future role shaping business
and society. Alongside lectures and seminars, you will be encouraged
to compete for opportunities to enhance your experience through
competitively allocated domestic student consultancy projects where
you can learn on the job. Various modules promote applied thinking
and engagement with real businesses.
Our teaching and learning strategy draws on our academic
community’s commitment to critical engagement with the practice
of business, reflected in a range of theoretically and practically
oriented modules. Following successful completion of the taught
components, you will develop your own critical project through
completing a research dissertation or reflect on everyday practice
when successfully appointed to a student consultancy project.

The Creativity and Personal
Development module convinced me
to apply for the Student Consultancy

position at Stoke City Football Club.
I believe I was able to make a great
impact there.
