The Bath MSc in International Management
MSc in International Management The Bath MSc in International Management recognises that in the
21st century business environment, managers need to understand the complex challenges that shape today’s increasingly globalised marketplace and keep up with the pace of change.
The Bath MSc in International Management provides you with an advanced understanding of the international business environment by developing your global perspectives on business, informed by a deep understanding of the different national and cultural contexts in which firms operate.
It is distinct from other international management programmes in that it offers an interdisciplinary and cross-functional perspective, integrating management studies with a broader understanding of the international economic environment.
Programme structure The MSc in International Management is an intensive, one-year programme starting in September and finishing in September the following year. If you successfully complete the degree you will graduate in December.
The degree is divided into two 11-week semesters, and the dissertation period which runs from June until September.
Semester 1 During the first semester all students study the same four core modules as outlined in the diagram opposite, plus one optional unit.
Semester 2 In the second semester all students take the ‘Global Environment of Business II’ and ‘Research Methods II’ units. Additionally you are invited to choose four optional units.
Some examples are given in the diagram opposite.
Our teaching and your learning You’ll be exposed to a diverse range of teaching styles and delivery techniques from standard lectures of varying sizes, interactive case-study based seminars, and student-led presentations. We strongly believe in active learning. We expect you to bring and share your thoughts and experiences in the classroom to demonstrate the impact of different cultural interpretations and nationally based perspectives on the issues we raise in class.
Assessment occurs through a variety of methods including coursework in the form of essays, case-study based assignments and class presentations, as well as more traditional examinations. Some assessments will be based on your performance as an individual; others will be based on group work. We strongly encourage the use of multicultural groups as a device for action learning and the development of your cross-cultural awareness, negotiation, and managerial skills.
For the dissertation you will devise a 10,000-15,000 word piece of individually researched and written work on a topic with a clear international dimension. You will be supervised by a member of the Strategy and International Management group or other faculty, depending on your topic.

“My research considers innovation and technology as drivers of economic growth (at firm, industry and national levels) and the issues surrounding them in a globalising world. I am interested in why and how do firms, industries and nations generate/access new technologies from across the world, how they exploit, share and transfer it, and what hinders/ facilitates these processes. I teach on the year-long core unit ‘Global Environment of Business’ as well as an option on innovation and industrial competitiveness.”
