Balancing your work, life, and career goals isn’t always easy – so how can you fit a Masters around everything that matters to you?
The International Business Management MSc course is designed with real lives in mind. With flexible timetables, teaching that connects directly to the workplace, and a network of lecturers, support staff, and fellow students, you’ll have the guidance and encouragement to grow at every step.
Study in a way that fits your life
You don’t have to put your career on hold to take the next step – this Masters is built to fit around your life. You can choose a timetable that works best for you, whether that’s daytime, or evening and weekend classes, making it easier to balance study with work, family, and other commitments.
The course is also delivered through a blended learning approach, combining on-campus sessions with live online study. This means you’ll have the convenience of online learning, alongside the personal connection of face-to-face teaching. It’s a structure that keeps you engaged with your lecturers and peers, while giving you the flexibility to keep progressing in your career and personal life at the same time.
Drawing from her experience, Geanina, a Business Management student, explains:
“I am already working in the industry, and this course helped me understand the system more.”
Engage in real-world learning
The International Business Management MSc degree isn’t just about theory; it’s designed to prepare you for the workplace.
To develop your leadership and decision-making skills, the course includes a live business simulation, where you’ll work as part of a management team to run a global company. It’s a chance to experience real-world decision-making and see the impact of your strategies in action before presenting your outcomes to a company board, just as you would in the workplace.
Reflecting on her experience with group projects whilst studying with us, Rachel, a Business Management student, says:
“Getting together and putting us in groups has really made me more confident, and my communication has improved, so I’m really happy.”
Alongside the simulation, you’ll also develop consultancy skills through case studies and topical research, and benefit from Interpersonal Skills Coaching to strengthen your leadership potential.
