Program Overview

Our MSc in International Trade, Strategy and Operations will give you a comprehensive overview of how international companies operate. You will develop a broad set of skills, enabling you to increase your involvement in the whole business process; from initial engagement with a new market right through to the delivery of a product or service.

Throughout the year, you will learn to identify business opportunities, formulate strategic options, and define business winning propositions, as well as learning to manage, lead change and improve operational and supply chain processes within international businesses.

The International Trade, Strategy and Operations MSc investigates and analyses real-world applications. It is set within a truly global context due to the international nature of case studies and examples which illustrate the issues and challenges facing a range of stakeholders, from businesses at a micro-level, to governmental bodies at a macro-level. Teaching from the course team will be both research and experience led, as many of the course team members are active research participants and/or have experience of engaging with business in a variety of areas on an international scale.

The course focuses heavily on the application of theory into practice, so you will be able to envisage as a student, how the skills developed throughout your studies will be used to best advantage in a professional environment.

This course is suitable for candidates with a background in international trade, strategy or operations who wish to specialise further in these areas. It is also suitable for candidates from other internationally focused or business related disciplines who wish to pursue a career in the field of international trade.
