Course summary

Learn how to analyse, understand and act on global challenges and opportunities.

Our programme is accredited by the internationally recognised Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), reflecting its quality content and relevance to industry.

Guided by academics who are experts in their field, our programme will help you navigate the complexity of the subject and understand the benefits and challenges of globalisation for local communities.

Learn how to work critically with information, data, digital tools and Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported technologies to help your learning, communication and research. Explore topics like sustainability, ethics and responsible citizenship and understand how they can shape individual and organisational behaviour in global settings.

During your studies, we plan to go on a field trip to a European city to experience and analyse first-hand another country’s economy. You may also study a language.

By the end of final year, you will be able to combine advanced subject knowledge with strong analytical, digital and professional skills.

Our graduates have the confidence and global perspective needed to engage critically with international business and management issues. They can respond to complex global challenges and pursue a wide range of graduate careers or further study opportunities.

In third year, you will complete a year-long graduate-level placement, providing valuable work experience and an opportunity to further enhance the skills and attributes sought after by top employers.

You can apply for placements with a large organisation or smaller company. You will be supported by university staff whilst on placement and complete related assessments in May.
