    Course Summary

    A Master of Arts degree in International Business will allow you to understand, analyse and take part in the governance of private sector, public sector and not-for-profit organisations of all types and sizes. You’ll come to understand how businesses and other organisations are managed, how their business processes change to meet the challenges of an ever more globalised business environment, and how they formally address internationalisation both internally and externally.

    This may be your first exploration of the business environment, or you may have years of real world experience. No matter what path has led you to the University of Edinburgh’s International Business MA, you will gain a great deal of academic knowledge and many vital practical skills as well.

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.
