The MBA in international Business Practice begins with you. It focuses on helping you appreciate the international dimensions of business practice and, through a comprehensive programme of study, gain a broader appreciation of the work or industry in which you are engaged.

Your MBA will be undertaken in London during your work placement year, and you will complete your degree in the exciting environment of South East Asia, with Bangkok, Thailand, as your hub.

A world view

This degree will ask you to take an international perspective and understand the ways in which your business or industry operates within a global economy. In an interdependent world, where cross-cultural understanding is essential at all levels of operations and management, an MBA in International Business Practice will give you the practical skills and knowledge to appreciate the interactions of international business. After a year of evening seminars, weekend sessions and on-line study, you will be challenged as you complete your degree outside your comfort zone, with a term of intensive fieldwork and regional study in the heart of Asia.

Draw on your experience

The undergraduate study and related work experience that you have already accumulated have given you an edge. The MBA in International Business Practice will help you translate that edge into a degree which can empower you to move further along your chosen career path in international business. Unlike many conventional MBA courses, which stress a combination of traditional academic study, augmented case-book analysis and structured workplace visits, this degree gives pride of place to your on-going practical work and asks you to go further and dig deeper into the field or industry in which you have developed your career. Business theory and case-book analysis will remain an important aspect of your studies, but these will be enriched by your own personal experiences and will lead you to develop skills and competencies to engage in a comparative analysis of global business practices.
