This course is for people who want a two-year Masters qualification in business, international management and marketing to complement any type of study at undergraduate level, in order to boost employability. This two-year course develops skills in business and international management while also offering a pathway in marketing. The first year is the same as MSc Business with International Management. You will then undertake a second year that develops the ‘Marketing’ pathway. There is no requirement to have studied business, international management or marketing at undergraduate level. The course is covered by the prestigious AACSB accreditation for Newcastle Business School, which was ‘Business School of the Year’ at The Times Higher Education Awards 2015. Your tutors will use a variety of teaching methods including lectures, seminars and workshops. As this is a Masters course there is a major element of independent learning and self-motivated reflection. Teaching is backed up by a well-designed support system that helps ensure a successful learning journey. We make sure that extensive feedback, from both tutors and peers, is built into the course. Our assessment strategy is based on our understanding that everyone has different needs, strengths and enthusiasms. Assessment is based on course work and our methods will include essays, reports, group work, presentations, and the master’s dissertation or consultancy project. The University has also invested heavily in IT labs and facilities. You’ll use software such as ARIS Express Business Process Modelling, various SAS applications, Microsoft Project, specialist decision-making software, and Google Analytics. Our graduates typically go into professional and graduate management positions and, by the end of the course, you’ll be well-equipped to follow them. Your knowledge and skills, including your specialisms in international management and marketing, will help you turn good businesses into great ones. Some employers require completion of a two-year Masters and this course will meet their requirement. The course could also lead you to a postgraduate research degree such as an MPhil, PhD and Professional Doctorate.
