Course summary

MSc International Business by Research adopts an active learning approach with a strong emphasis on real-world application to create a practical and professional course for international students. We promote in-classroom interaction between lecturers and students, as well as between peers, through activity, group discussion, role-play and projects. The course aims to deliver an inclusive curriculum though an inclusive approach. This encourages integration and collaboration between students who work with others to tackle issues and problems that have relevance to the business world. There is a strong emphasis on empirical research and the course culminates in an opportunity for students to complete an empirical research project that critically explores and implement theories to real-world issues. This increases a students knowledge and understanding and improves ability to think critically and analytically while operating in a global context. Study style Students are encouraged to study with their peers in learning sets and peer review and feedback is adopted for developing students’ ability in reflective listening, critical evaluation and making commitment to take action. We encourage students to engage with and use technology, maximising engagement and learning experience. We take a ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) approach, creating an opportunity for students to develop digital literacies while enriching learning design and learning activity.
