Course Summary

Course description

Focus on international business issues and how to solve them. Put your learning into practice and gain work experience with the client-facing project.

  • Explore how multinational enterprises operate and carry out comparative business analysis
  • Work on the practical consultancy skills necessary to work efficiently in an international business environment
  • Gain a thorough understanding of business analysis and development
  • Learn the key skills for international business consulting, such as outlining international business problems, writing business reports and preparing for interviews
  • The client-facing project with an external organisation allows you to apply your learning to a real business issue, giving you valuable work experience and generating excellent networking opportunities.

Coursework and assessment

Assessment varies depending on the modules chosen. It may include a combination of coursework, group project assessment, presentations, assignments, report, individual essay and examinations.

The summer project is offered if you do not have any unit marks below 40%, and not more than one unit mark between 40-49% in semester 1. If you don't meet these criteria you will be offered a project related to an external client, with no direct contact with them. For those working on group projects, a group report and an individual report will be produced (both 6,000 words).

Alternatively, you may undertake an academic dissertation of 12,000 words.

Career opportunities

The course is aimed at graduates who are interested in pursuing a career in the area of business analysis and development, including business consulting, as well as candidates who seek a pathway to a research degree in the field of international management and comparative studies.

Modules

The course is designed to allow students to develop and apply techniques of financial analysis to firms and industries, paying particular attention to the ways that companies interact with the external environment. First, it helps to develops understanding of the concept of a business model which allows consideration of both opportunities and constraints that arise from the product and the capital markets. Second, it provides relevant context by analysing corporate performance in an era of shareholder value where investors (especially institutional investors, activist hedge funds etc.) are more demanding.
