MSc in International Business
Key Points
The Master of International Business has been specifically designed for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the international business environment as employees or as business owners / managers operating internationally. The requirement that managers think globally but act locally is vital to success. An understanding of the international environment in which organizations now find themselves cannot be overemphasized.
