Master in International Business Management

The tuition fee is 17,500 GBP per year.

The programme runs over a single academic year if studied full-time, or extends to 2.5 years on a part-time basis, with a shorter 15-month full-time option for February entry. The first term introduces core concepts, the second term deepens analytical skills, and the final stage focuses on applied research or a professional project.

Each week you attend a mix of lectures, seminars and business workshops, work on live industry projects and develop case studies, presentations and executive reports. Assessment is through practical coursework only – no written exams – and you make regular use of the on-campus Financial Trading Suite and the Enterprise Hive for start-up support.

A distinctive feature is the programme’s endorsement by the Business Graduates Association, which provides student membership and industry-focused resources, together with access to the university’s advanced Financial Trading Suite, one of the largest in the UK.
