MSc International Business and Finance (IB&F),

Offered jointly with International Business and Strategy


 

Applications are open for 2012 entry (full-time)

One of the hallmarks of globalisation is the growing significance of multinational firms that span multiple countries and industries, and consequently the need to manage business operations in an increasingly complex environment.
Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the international business environment, in terms of the competitive and investment climate, which is largely determined by the policies and regulations established by governments and supra-national institutions. The programme introduces conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies that make sense of the interaction between company strategies and policies. These strategies are constantly in flux as these environments rapidly evolve in a globalising world. Key issues are explored from both a business and economic perspective including the following:

  • How the global financial markets are leveraged by multinational firms
  • The management challenges that face multinational firms that seek to exploit international business opportunities
  • The relevance of these to financial and capital markets.

This degree is ideal for business and economics graduates, as well as financial analysts.
