Course summary

This course examines in-depth global management practices in a world that has changed radically in the last decade. A new international landscape lies ahead: international tensions and conflicts among the leading economies of the world, climate change and environmental emergencies, major issues of social justice and business ethics, as well as global economic pressures on limited resources of all kinds. All management processes and business decisions, in all types of organisations and markets, have to face these new realities and their impact on societies, economies, and people’s everyday lives. Course overview This course offers a unique and genuine interdisciplinary understanding of management, its essentially international nature, and the realities of the world today. Your studies will develop your critical understanding in three fundamental areas:

  • Core areas of management (human resources, marketing or accounting and finance, sustainability, ethics, and technology)
  • Core issues in contemporary international relations and world politics that shape the real world today
  • Core responsibilities facing global businesses in the coming decades: ecology and the natural environment, sustainability and ethical responsibilities
You will take modules from both the Management School and Politics and International Relations - a unique feature of this degree. There are two pathways through the degree: you can choose to focus either on marketing or accounting and finance. You will, therefore, have the opportunity to choose additional modules from one of these disciplines. In your second year, you will deepen and broaden your understanding of management and global business operations today, with modules in management and international organisations, human resource management, and business ethics. These will be complemented with modules in international relations and world politics, security and sustainability, and the politics of development. Your third year is spent at a partner university, studying modules that are local specialities. Studying abroad has many advantages, including personal and educational development, experiencing a new culture, and enhanced employability. If you are considering further study, graduate programmes welcome study abroad candidates. In your final year, you’ll cover more issues surrounding international human resource management, management and organisations in the digital age, as well as sustainability, together with more optional modules in marketing management or corporate finance (depending on which route you’ve chosen), and international relations such as the Governance of Global Capitalism. You will also synthesise your academic achievements in an individual dissertation, a much-valued addition to your professional resume. Key facts BSc International Management is also offered as a three-year degree. If you are not offered a place to study overseas, you can transfer to the equivalent standard degree scheme and complete your studies at Lancaster. Lancaster University cannot accept responsibility for any financial aspects of the year abroad. Course outcomes By the end of your degree, you will have gained a deep understanding and appreciation of how management and business both depend upon and shape the global social and economic system. You will have developed an excellent awareness and knowledge of the fundamental processes of management, from human resources to organisational analysis, from marketing to the role of technology in contemporary organisational systems, as well as of contemporary international affairs and the political environment in which all business processes take place. Ultimately you will have the skills to work within any type of organisation that places emphasis on global connectivity – from multinational corporations to globe-spanning Non-governmental organisations or public sector services dealing with foreign or local affairs.
