Introduction

Overview

The MA (Hons) in International Business Management programme allows students to develop specialist knowledge and interpersonal skills needed to thrive in a business setup.

This programme offers a range of dynamic lectures, tutorials and interactive workshops and is taught by leading academics of the Edinburgh Business School.

In Year 1, students will be required to take up certain mandatory courses to gain a solid, universal understanding of the key principles and practices of modern business. By maintaining a consistent programme of study across all seven International Business Management pathways in Year 1, students can easily switch to their specialism as they move into their second year.

Year 2 introduces functional areas of business and management such as marketing, operations management and human resource management. In years 3 and 4 students can choose from a variety of subjects that best suit their career aspirations.

In addition to specialist business knowledge, students will develop important transferable skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and team working, as well as creativity, confidence and research abilities. These skills will help them succeed in their careers and personal life.

The Edinburgh Business School approach

This degree ensures that all studies reflect current thinking and practices adopted by successful organisations and their leaders. Our courses involve case study-driven assignments, applied group projects and guest lectures from industry leaders.

The Professional Development Track

The Professional Development Track (PDT) offers practice-focused courses preparing students to take up challenging roles upon graduation. The four PDT courses have been designed in response to the needs of practitioners and employers and will help students analyse, report and present ideas in a professional setting, whilst teaching them the nuances of operating in a corporate setup.

Go Global – study in Edinburgh and Malaysia

Heriot-Watt University’s unique Go Global programme is open to those studying undergraduate International Business Management degrees at the Edinburgh Business School. Those enrolled for the programme stand a chance to spend one semester or up to two full academic years at our campuses in Edinburgh and Malaysia. The chance to travel, study and gain experience in three different countries with different business cultures will help students stand out as global citizens and give an edge in recruitment upon graduation.

In the past, students have shared their inter-campus transfer experience, highlighting how it has helped build their confidence, broaden their horizons and give them new perspectives.
