Course Description

This master's is built for people who already hold a degree and now want to run things internationally rather than locally. You will work through how businesses grow across markets, how supply chains hold up under pressure, how brands are built digitally, and what changes about leadership when teams are spread across countries. The last third of the year is your own research project, chosen with your supervisor and grounded in a real business question. Teaching is on campus with weekday or evening timetables, so it can sit alongside work. UniStart supports your application from the first call to enrolment at no cost to you, and the university makes the final admission decision.
