This course offers a unique and genuine interdisciplinary understanding of management, its essentially international nature, and the realities of the world today.

Your studies will develop your critical understanding in three fundamental areas:

• Core areas of management (human resources, marketing or accounting and finance, sustainability, ethics, and technology);
• Core issues in contemporary international relations and world politics that shape the real world today;
• Core responsibilities facing global businesses in the coming decades: ecology and the natural environment, sustainability and ethical responsibilities.

You will take modules from both the Management School, and Politics and International Relations - a unique feature of this degree. There are two pathways through the degree: you can choose to focus either on marketing or accounting and finance. You will, therefore, have the opportunity to choose additional modules from one of these disciplines.

In your second year, you will deepen and broaden your understanding of management and global business operations today, with modules in management and international organisations, human resource management, and business ethics. These will be complemented with modules in international relations and world politics, security and sustainability, and the politics of development.

Your third year consists of a placement in industry that will allow you to apply your knowledge and develop professional skills. This experience also provides valuable insight for your final year academic studies.

In your final year, you’ll cover more issues surrounding international human resource management, management and organisations in the digital age, as well as sustainability, together with more optional modules in marketing management or corporate finance (depending on which route you’ve chosen), and international relations such as the Governance of Global Capitalism. You will also synthesise your academic achievements in an individual dissertation, a much-valued addition to your professional resume
