Master of Science [M.Sc] [International Business and Strategy] From Lancaster University

To ensure long-term viability, firms require managers who are capable of dealing with the strategic implications of a complex, global business environment. The MSc International Business & Strategy (IB&S) will boost your career by pushing your strategic capabilities to the next level.

This highly demanding programme combines the global perspective of international business with the up-to-date strategic thinking required to develop and defend competitive advantage and implement effective organisational designs. The various modules of the programme discuss the drivers of globalisation, the process of internationalisation and how the global economic environment influences firmsÕ competitive responses.

Importantly, the MSc IB&S is designed to equip you with the analytical skills necessary to master the complex quantitative and qualitative data required for strategic decision making.

A range of optional modules is available in the second and third terms, enabling you to specialise in a particular area or add to your breadth of understanding of how global firms operate.
