MSc International Business

at University of Lincoln

Students on this programme are expected to read extensively and stay aware of current theoretical debates within the literature, including relevant journals.
 

Lectures are used primarily in discipline-bound areas. Lecture materials may be enhanced by audiovisual material in the early stages of the course to provide additional aid to overseas students facing an unfamiliar learning environment. Classes are supplemented with discussion and debate on the rapid and often spontaneous changes in international business. Seminars are also a feature of the course.
 

MSc International Business students are expected to study six core modules which are designed to develop understanding of international business, communication skills, and other essential graduate attributes. Students can then select two optional modules based on their academic own individual interests and career aspirations.
 

The degree concludes with a dissertation which is designed to encourage innovation and diverse pathways to the final assessed product. In this respect, the dissertation is an extended project that can accommodate a range of independent work.
