Master of Science - International Business Management

Program Description The Royal Holloway International Business Management MSc is a rigorous - and rewarding - programme aimed at ambitious and self-motivated individuals at the outset of their professional working life. It is ideal for those who wish to pursue a postgraduate degree in general management with an international orientation and will prepare students to enter the globalised world of work on a competitive footing, maximising their potential and widening their choices.

On graduating, students will have a comprehensive and integrated knowledge and understanding of organisations, their management and the environment in which they operate. As part of this, students will have examined accounting and finance from a manager's point of view and evaluated the impact of internal and external factors on the kinds of human resource strategies drawn up by international organisations. The course will provide an understanding of how international management fits into the organisation and running of a company or multi-company corporation.

As a member of the School of Business and Management, students will join an intellectually stimulating, friendly and supportive research environment and, through working closely with the expert and experienced academic staff, students will be in a position to realise their full potential.

• Career management and employability skills to make competitive applications to multinational enterprises, non-governmental organisations or as a platform to pursue additional qualifications (such as in accounting or Marketing). • Conversion course so therefore particularly relevant if students did not study management as part of their undergraduate degree or have less than two years full-time work experience. It is also applicable to graduates who are involved in family-owned and own businesses. • Inspiring international community; approximately 60% of the Management students come from overseas, with over 130 countries represented across the University.
