Course description
How you will study
The learning and teaching processes of the MA in International Business Management course build on students’ current experience that will be discussed and reflected upon to maximise personal development and to share learning across diverse domains. The course draws extensively on models of critical reflection as a means of “interrogating” and theorising professional practice.
Alongside the scheduled studies, students’ ‘independent’ study is very important. This is the time that you will learn without direct supervision from, or contact with, a member of staff and this makes up a large part of your studies.
To summarise, very broadly, a student’s study activity will break down into:
- Scheduled contact/activity time (lectures, seminars, tutorials, supervisions and other- directed activities);
- Structured independent study, such as preparing for scheduled learning activity;
- Case studies that are frequently used to provide context for, and to demonstrate the application of theory;
- Workshops/practical classes;
- Group/team work as a Class Preparation Assignment;
- Student presentations or student-led seminars; and
- A “clinic" where students can raise any problems related to the module.
Course structure
The MA in International Business Management has three Pathways:
- MA in International Business Management
- MA in International Business Management (Creative Cultural Tourism)
- MA in International Business Management (Entrepreneurship and Innovation)
The course is offered on a full time or a part time mode. The full time mode is an attractive option for international students or students taking a sabbatical. The structure of studies for full time students is constructed based on the module choice and under close supervision by the Course Leader. Both full-time and part-time students have to study 180 credits over the period of their studies. The dissertation/project may take place in summer after the modules are complete.
The course structure is validated by the University of Westminster (UK) every five years, but the structure may change by adapting to feedback received from a variety of sources.
