Our MSc International Business Management with Marketing programme is aimed at graduates who have little or no business or management background in their first degree and who wish to gain a broad based business qualification to enhance their future career prospects, or at those looking to develop business management knowledge and skills to allow them to change or further their careers.

International Business Management pathways

Our MSc International Business Management with Marketing is one of three specialist pathways we offer in International Business Management. The programmes cover key issues in international business management including the international business environment as well as the importance of strategy, finance, marketing, and organisational behaviour. You then focus on developing specific knowledge and skills in your chosen pathway subject in preparation for a career in that area.

The international focus of the programme attracts students from all around the world, giving a rich learning environment where international experience and practice is shared.

Students also have the opportunity to take part in team-building, leadership and networking events during the first few weeks of the programme.

All subjects take an international view of business and focus on practical issues and current topics in management as well as key theories of management.

Students will select one pathway from three (Marketing, Human Resources or Finance). All International Business Management students in Dubai will study the same set of mandatory courses regardless of pathway, but have the opportunity to select from a range of pathway dependent options. Students undertake a dissertation within the field of their chosen pathway.
