Global Business - B6040
Master degree
The more we move into the future, the more intertwined the international business landscape becomes. Driving positive and sustainable progress for organisations and people alike takes a deeper understanding of the economic, political and social forces at play in the world of business – as well as a clearer perspective on how to use your insights and experience to respond to these forces.
This multidisciplinary master's program builds your awareness of the global business environment, while progressing your practical expertise as well. In as little as one year, you’ll have developed a greater awareness for the global context – and how this context impacts business, strategy, government, diplomacy, trade, sustainability, social responsibility, intercultural communication and more
Complementing this deeper understanding of cross-regional, cross-cultural challenges and opportunities is an altogether stronger business skillset. The program elevates your ability to think critically, solve innovatively and impact sustainably. So by the time you’ve completed your study, you’ll be ready to find practical ways forward to complement your understanding.
Flexibility is a key component of the program – and you can choose to hone your focus on specific areas of study, or take part in a broader set of electives. Whichever path you choose, one thing’s certain. You’ll have equipped yourself with the knowledge – and practical know-how – to influence positive change to the world of business on a global scale while taking your career in exciting new directions too.
Ready to broaden your horizons and bring your own kind of impact to the world of business?

Partner with another course

And because a required subject in one course can count as an elective in the other, our double degrees take up to two years less than if you studied for the two degrees separately.
