Master of Science - International Business Management (Strategy and Leadership)

The Royal Holloway International Business Management (Strategy & Leadership) MSc is a rigorous - and rewarding course aimed at ambitious and self-motivated individuals at the outset of their professional working life. It is ideal if students wish to pursue a postgraduate degree in general management with an international orientation and will prepare them to enter the globalised world of work on a competitive footing as a contemporary leader and strategist, maximising their potential and widening their choices.

On graduating, students will have a comprehensive and integrated knowledge and understanding of organisations, their management, approach to leadership and the environment in which they operate.
