The focus of this programme is the development of cross-cultural management skills in addition to providing a foundational understanding of how businesses operate.  It is ideal for students seeking to pursue a range of managerial careers in either commercial or not-for-profit organisations, and it is suitable for graduates with a good first degree in any subject.

The programme aims to enable students to develop knowledge and skills in preparing for a management career in a range of contexts or to prepare for higher study. It will enable students to develop the self-awareness and competencies to lead and manage people within cross-cultural contexts.  The programme has a focus on ‘soft skills’ in recognition of the increasing importance of these skills in today’s workplace, particularly in management roles.

Our graduates go on to successful international careers with a range of commercial and not-for-profit organisations, around the world.
