What you'll study

The International MBA curriculum combines core management disciplines with global and cross‑cultural perspectives. Core modules typically cover strategy, international finance, global marketing, operations and supply chain management, leadership and organisational behaviour, and corporate governance.

Students also study specialised topics that reflect international business practice, such as cross‑border mergers and acquisitions, international trade and investment, global risk management, and international business law. The programme places emphasis on applied learning through business simulations, live consultancy projects with multinational clients, and case‑based teaching.

Most students choose from a range of electives to tailor the degree to their career goals—examples include digital transformation and strategy, international entrepreneurship, emerging markets strategy, sustainable business, and advanced corporate finance. A final capstone, consultancy project or international study trip integrates learning and allows students to tackle a real organisational challenge.

Entry requirements

Applicants are expected to hold a good undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) and to bring relevant professional experience; competitive candidates generally have several years of full‑time work experience in managerial or specialist roles. The programme accepts candidates from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds, and values demonstrable leadership potential, international awareness and clear career objectives.

Selection typically involves submission of a CV, personal statement, academic transcripts and references. Some applicants may be asked to attend an interview. Standard English language requirements apply for non‑native speakers (equivalent to commonly used academic tests). The school may accept GMAT or GRE scores where provided, and individual admissions criteria can vary for different pathways (full‑time, part‑time or executive formats).

Career prospects

Graduates of the International MBA go on to roles in general management, international business development, strategy and management consulting, corporate finance, supply chain and operations, and entrepreneurial ventures. The degree is suited to professionals aiming for senior positions within multinational corporations, fast‑growing international firms, financial institutions and international NGOs.
