What it is

The guiding thread is strategic management, backed by the main business functions, with a focus on how companies grow in international markets. You learn to analyse consumer behaviour in consumer and industrial markets, the theory and techniques of competition and sector analysis, and financial, product and service markets, so that you can work in any business area and cooperate with the others. Data and analytics are used to build sustainable strategies, and double and multiple degrees are available. Graduates move into international managerial roles in consulting, business, non-profit, manufacturing and service companies, or continue to English-taught master's degrees in the School of Economics.
