MSc in International Business and Entrepreneurship

The MSc in International Business and Entrepreneurship at the School of Entrepreneurship and Business (SEB) is concerned with critical aspects of business formation and development across international borders. It also examines issues related to entrepreneurial management as they apply to different types of organisations in varying stages of formation, development or growth in different international and cultural environments.

The programme provides a foundation in the concepts of entrepreneurship and the development of entrepreneurial culture in organisations and policy. The programme covers a highly topical area of business studies through a critical examination of different types of international business activity, underpinning theories, and innovative approaches to new business creation in different cultural and economic contexts. Its international scope and character is evinced in its overall objectives, the use of international case studies and data sets, availability of staff, policy makers and practitioners from an international community of businesses, academic institutions, policy making and other organisations.

The programme should benefit graduates looking for a career in international business, specifically, to employees of transnational and entrepreneurial organisations, to those setting up new ventures in global knowledge-based or high technology industries, to policy makers, and to others interested in critically investigating the global market place of business and entrepreneurship.
