About Msc Management in University of Essex

MSc Management (International) is perfect if you do not have a first degree in business, or relevant work experience in management.

As one of Essex Business School’s unique Master of management pathways, you will study a core spine of management and organisational issues in term one. You will then specialise in international management in your second term where you will explore issues like globalisation, international business challenges and cross-cultural management.

The optional modules that allow you to specialise in international management will enable you to align your course with your career aspirations so that you graduate with a perfectly tailored Masters degree in international management.

If you are interested in issues such as: how to build an international business strategy, how to manage teams across cultures and how to consider CSR across multiple markets then MSc Management (International) is for you.

We ensure that your education in management is both theoretical and practical, allowing you to develop expertise in a chosen area of international management. In your last term you’ll have the opportunity to conduct a case study of the performance of an organisation during a short term placement.
