Master of Science - Management and International Business (2 Year)

Nottingham Trent University's MSc Management and International Business course explores how to manage effectively in an increasingly global work environment. It builds the powerful, practical skills students will need to deal with the problems faced by managers working internationally.

This course explores how to manage effectively in increasingly global work environments. Students will develop a strong understanding of the global supply chain, as well as how organisations within it perform in relation to one another. An experience-based module also gives students the opportunity to work abroad, developing skills and experience of operating in an overseas context.

During their studies, students will focus on international value chains and cross cultural management issues, consider how organisations capture value through new product and services and deliver value through international operations and supply chains. In addition, students will study how cultural, linguistic and physical barriers affect organisations and how, in turn, organisations respond in order to adapt to those barriers. Students will then have the opportunity to take part in a business case for ‘going global’ over a period of four weeks including spending one of those weeks abroad.

Students starting their Masters in September can apply for the two-year option where they can add a year’s work placement onto their course. It’s a great way to put learning into practice and gain valuable real-world experience to help boost career prospects once graduating.

The placement year will last up to 48 weeks (minimum 36 weeks). If students are unable to take a full year's placement, but have completed the minimum 36 weeks, they can qualify for a Placement Diploma in Industrial Experience. If students undertake a placement, they must take up the Business Research Project in Semester Three.

Please be advised that this MSc has a placement year.
