Hult International Business School

What you'll study

The Master’s in International Business balances core management disciplines with applied, internationally focused projects. The curriculum typically combines core modules that build functional competence with electives and practical capstone experiences that develop cross-cultural leadership and strategic thinking.

• Core modules – international strategy, global marketing, financial management for international firms, operations and supply chain management, organisational behaviour and leadership, and data analytics for managers.
• Electives and specialisms – subjects often include digital marketing, international entrepreneurship, corporate finance, sustainability and corporate responsibility, negotiation and conflict management, and emerging markets strategy.
• Applied learning – business simulations, consulting-style client projects (Action Projects), case-based learning and leadership labs that emphasise practical problem solving in multinational contexts.
• Capstone / final project – a multidisciplinary project or practicum where students apply their learning to a real organisation, market entry plan or strategic challenge with faculty and industry supervision.
• Global exposure – the programme is structured to enable study across Hult’s international campuses, facilitating immersive experiences in different business environments and access to diverse networks.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold a recognised bachelor’s degree or equivalent. Hult values professional experience; many entrants have one to several years of work experience, though the programme also welcomes recent graduates. Admissions typically consider academic transcripts, a CV, a personal statement and references.
