Hult International Business School

What you'll study

The programme combines core management disciplines with specialised modules in marketing and business support services, delivered through a practical, case-based approach. You will study foundational topics such as strategic management, organisational behaviour, finance for managers and operations, alongside marketing-focused subjects including brand management, digital marketing, consumer behaviour and marketing analytics.

• Core modules: strategy and competitive advantage, leadership and organisational behaviour, managerial finance, operations and supply chain fundamentals.
• Marketing modules: brand strategy, digital and social media marketing, customer insight and segmentation, marketing analytics and campaign planning.
• Supporting skills: business communication, negotiation, project management and data-driven decision making.
• Applied learning: live consulting projects with corporate partners, capstone business simulations and industry workshops to practice real-world problem solving.
• Electives and specialisms: options in entrepreneurship, international business, sales strategy, or service design depending on campus availability and student choice.
• Global experience: opportunities to study on multiple Hult campuses, participate in international residencies and work on cross-border team projects.

The course is typically structured to balance taught modules, group work and experiential assessments rather than traditional examinations; assessments often include presentations, project reports, consultancy deliverables and reflective assignments.

Entry requirements

Applicants are usually expected to hold a recognised bachelor's degree or equivalent from an accredited institution. Admissions also consider professional experience, particularly for candidates without a traditional degree; a few years of relevant work experience can strengthen an application.

• Academic transcript demonstrating a completed undergraduate qualification or equivalent.
• Proof of English proficiency if your prior education was not in English, typically through recognised tests or prior study in English-speaking institutions.
• A CV/resumé detailing professional experience; relevant internships or roles in business, marketing or related functions are advantageous.
• Personal statement or interview that outlines motivations, career goals and fit with the programme.
• References may be required in some cases, particularly for applicants with substantial professional experience.

Hult uses a holistic admissions process; strength in professional experience, international exposure and demonstrated leadership potential can offset lower academic credentials.
