Description:

Gain the insights, skills and professional credibility to help businesses meet the challenges of operating internationally. Our MSc will give you the edge as you prepare for a  lucrative international management career in an era of rapid globalisation.

If you are keen to develop a thorough understanding of business and finance operations in an international context, taking this dynamic MSc programme is a smart move. It is the ideal choice if you come from a general business background and want to gain more specialist skills and knowledge from a global perspective.

Taking a truly multidisciplinary approach, the MSc brings together disciplines such as economics, international business strategy, finance and behavioural finance. You will explore crucial questions surrounding international trade, global financial markets, regulation, pricing, how to evaluate financial performance, the psychology of financial decision making and the importance of interest rates and exchange rates for international business.

We are committed not only to your academic achievement but also to your personal and career development. Alongside the theory, you will gain statistical, modelling and research skills so that you can analyse the operation and impact of financial market strategy effectively.

Hands-on learning

The MSc International Business and Finance features plenty of scope for practical experience so that you build an impressive portfolio of transferable skills. 

You could find yourself contributing to specialist projects for employers and organisations in the region: recent examples include economic impact studies of the Buxton Festival and the Derby Low Carbon Initiative and working with the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership on their strategic economic plan.

Company visits give you fresh insights. In the past, our students have benefited from behind-the-scenes tours of the Pride Park Stadium, Derby Arena and Crown Derby. You can take advantage of mentor opportunities with our international industry leaders, extend your contacts through networking at Institute of Directors workshops, applying for company taster days including Price Waterhouse Cooper, and attending events held by the University’s own Network of Entrepreneurs.

Expert teaching

Our lecturers are experienced in all aspects of international business and their research and experience will enrich your learning. They are supported by industry experts from our thriving network of professional and business leaders.

We collaborate with prestigious names such as Lloyds Bank Corporate; the Bank of England Midlands Office; HSBC Nottingham; Eversheds; PwC; PKF Cooper Parry; Smiths of Derby; and Captivate Brands. Many of their senior staff contribute to the MSc International Business and Finance with thought-provoking guest lectures.

You will also benefit from the support and advice of a personal tutor who is part of the programme team and will contribute to your academic and personal development and your career planning.

Professional mentoring

We give you the opportunity to receive professional mentoring from influential business figures. Our mentors range from international trade advisors and banking specialists to senior managers from our partner companies – all are happy to share their experiences and advice with you.

Facilities and resources

In our Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab you can harness the software used in financial markets worldwide to gain vital insights into the fast-paced environment of the trading floor.

We have invested in these exceptional learning facilities in partnership with Bloomberg, the global business and financial information leader. The lab puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, including company and director profiles, economic data, market analysis and updates on current affairs from Bloomberg Intelligence. Harnessed by companies worldwide, this information is used extensively in our teaching and for student research and assessments.

You will receive training from Bloomberg specialists, have access to their helpdesk and can even work towards the Bloomberg Market Concepts Certificate to complement your MSc.

An extra qualification: the Futures Award

To enhance your CV further still, you can work towards a special award which recognises your leadership abilities and advanced consultancy skills. As part of the Futures Award in Leadership in International Business, you will undertake extra-curricular activities which strengthen your professional development, including business consultancy work, volunteering, fundraising activities and networking opportunities.

Our Futures Award participants have had the chance to hear from regional industry leaders such as Mel Morris, chairman and owner of Derby County FC and an initial investor in King Digital Entertainment, the company behind the computer game sensation Candy Crush.
