    Course Summary

    Birmingham City University offers an MBA specialising in the management and administration of international and global businesses. This is a field that is subject to massive, frequent changes as international markets are both volatile and subject to frequent regulatory and policy changes. However, there is a coherent market narrative forming, and familiar patterns are emerging on how one can lead a business of any size to prominence in these complex global markets.

    You’ll learn both how these changes can be predicted and what they can mean for the business world. You’ll explore making strategic and tactical decisions in a rapidly shifting global landscape. Perhaps more importantly, you’ll learn to apply these skills across a wide range of sectors and industries before delving deep into one or more areas of special study. You’ll graduate with all the skills you need to join an existing international commercial organisation or to take your own start-up to the global level with confidence.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    This degree program is typically delivered over a single year of three terms at full time.

    Term 1 Modules Include:

    • Global Marketing Management
    • Managing Financial Performance
    • Strategic Human Resources Management

    Term 2 Modules Include:

    • Enterprise, Innovation and Creativity
    • International Operations and Project Management
    • Strategic Leadership and Organisational Transformation

    Term 3 Modules Include:

    • Research Methods and Dissertation

    OR

    • Research Methods and Internship Management Project

    If you opt for the Dissertation, you’ll have to deliver a major piece of research which demonstrates both your practical and theoretical mastery of the IMBA material. If you opt for the Management Project, you’ll undertake an 8 week internship which will allow you to conduct independent research as well as learning many practical skills in a real world context.

    Either option should help you to build on your existing management skills, as well as adding new competencies in data synthesis, critical analysis, problem solving and project management.

    Learning And Teaching

    BCU’s IMBA degree is delivered through several modules. Each meets weekly for 12 weeks. A typical meeting includes an hour-long knowledge cast by the course tutor, followed by an in-depth seminar session. That will be followed by various group activities, amounting to a further 2 hours of contact time. You will also do a great deal of independent study, supported by an assigned Individual Tutor as well as by the university’s Virtual Learning Environment.

    Career Possibilities

    This degree program is intended to make you into a career-ready graduate, and all stages of the program include employability skills. You’ll be equally capable of continuing on to a PhD or research degree as you will to join a large international employer in a leadership or management role. The Graduate+ program will enhance your employability even further by helping you find work placements and extracurricular activities relevant to your career pathway.

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in an IMBA-type MSc degree.

    Applicants must typically have earned a graduate or undergraduate degree at 2:2 or better, or the international equivalent. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no section scoring less than 5.5 would qualify, for example.
