International Marketing Management20 Credits

Understand how to plan and execute marketing strategies across international markets.

Strategic Management20 Credits

Learn how to analyse competitive environments, formulate business strategy, and make decisions under uncertainty. Covers frameworks like Porter's Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, and Blue Ocean Strategy.

Assessment: Written assignment (up to 5,000 words)

Strategic Change Management20 Credits

Master how to lead organisations through transformation — whether it's digital migration, restructuring, or culture change.

Part 2 — MBA Dissertation (60 Credits)

Research Methods & Dissertation60 Credits

The capstone of your MBA. You'll first complete a Research Methods module (8 lectures over 1 month) covering methodology, literature review, and proposal writing. Then you'll submit a research proposal with a PowerPoint and defend it in a 15-minute VIVA to an academic panel.

Once approved, you'll spend 4 months writing your final dissertation (10,000+ words) on your chosen topic — aligned with your specialisation. You'll be assigned a supervisor who provides guidance throughout. This is where you produce original business research that demonstrates strategic thinking at the highest level.

Assessment: Research Proposal + VIVA + 10,000-word Dissertation
