The MBA in International Business Practice, structured around a group of core modules, a number of electives and a Management Project, is delivered in two parts.  Part I of the degree is completed over a twelve-month academic year.  Candidates complete four core modules during this period.  These are: Management Principles and Practices, Managing People in Organisations, the International Business Environment and Strategic Management.  In addition, candidates also follow a module in Research Methodology.  While candidates are completing these modules they are also expected to be working full time.  Classes for each module are delivered over four weekend teaching blocks, plus five two-hour seminar/lecture sessions and through online learning.

Part II of the degree is completed over a four-month residential term in Bangkok.  During this period, candidates take two modules from the following four electives: Principles of International Finance and Accounting, Global Marketing, Managing Change and Operations & Supply Chain Management.  Following on from the Module in Research Methodology undertaken during Part I, candidates will also complete a Management Project (dissertation).  This is expected to be approximately 15,000 words in length.

Management Principles & Practices

International Business Environment
This course explores the challenges faced by managers of global organizations and enhances awareness of the cultural and ethical practices that influence current business decision-making.  It explores the key topics of international economic theory, global financial trends, strategy and organization in the rapidly changing environment of international business.  Through directed readings, discussions, and evaluation of their own experiences working in culturally diverse firms, graduates seek to increase their cross-cultural competencies in ways that will allow them to operate more effectively.  As a final course assignment, they will prepare a business development plan for an emerging market that will serve as an introduction to Part II of the MBA program.
