Course summary

Overview
Fast track your career and embrace the challenges of global business on this Global MBA degree with an optional industry placement.

Study topics that combine global business principles with an in-depth understanding of local market dynamics, including subjects such as managing change, creativity and innovation and the global business environment.

Sustainable Business Innovation through Design Thinking

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation

International Tourism and Hospitality Management

Strategic Leadership in Healthcare

You can study this degree as a single year course, or complete a second year placement anywhere in the world.

There are two ways to complete your placement — through a paid industry placement anywhere in the world, or through a consultancy placement where you'll work in teams within three unique organisations.
