MSc International Business Economics

Gain an international perspective as you develop your knowledge of global business and enhance your understanding of the international economy.

On this MSc, you'll develop your core understanding and skills with compulsory modules such as Economic Concepts, Econometric Methods, International Trade and Multinational Firms. You will then have the opportunity to choose from a range of optional modules. You’ll finish your course by writing a dissertation with supervision and support from a member of the School of Economics.

The course is ideal if you’d like to work in the areas of finance, management or international business since it develops a range of transferable skills, including data analysis, as well as investigating the motivation and financial practices of international firms.

The MSc International Business Economics is part of our Applied Training Programme, which is designed to provide key skills in economics. It’s ideal if you’re a graduate without an economics background, yet wish to develop the analytical skills of an economist. It’s also suitable if you're an economics graduate wishing to develop specialist expertise in this area without committing to full research training.

You’ll gain a firm foundation in your subject through compulsory taught modules in Economic Concepts, Econometrics, International Trade, and Multinational Firms. Alongside this, you'll choose from a wide range of optional modules on topics such as finance, financial mathematics, environmental economics, and media economics. Towards the end of your 12 months with us, you will write a dissertation, which will be supervised by a member of the School of Economics.

We offer specialised structural support to help you negotiate your masters course. This includes compulsory, intensive pre-sessional training before the start of teaching on your course modules. This training incorporates the techniques of calculus and matrix algebra and an introduction to the specialist econometric software that you'll use in your MSc programme.
