Programme overview

Why choose this programme?

Master in International Business Management, promoting the use of information technologies, addressing the expansion of operations and changing corporate culture are all essential

The Master in International Business Management is modular in structure thanks to the International Business Management Module and the International Trade Management Module.

Globalisation has given rise to increasingly more segmented and competitive markets, so the internationalisation of companies and their establishment in foreign markets is key when expanding a business. Promoting the use of information technologies, addressing the expansion of operations and changing corporate culture are all essential.

The International Business Management module trains professionals with an international outlook, who know how to manage companies on the road to internationalisation or who already operate abroad. These professionals must master the financial, strategic and management environments which contribute to building international businesses.

The International Trade Management module, in turn, is designed for professionals with an international vocation, who know how to manage a sales department and who want to know the implications of a strategy in a global environment. It is for people proficient in business management who know about the opportunities that can be created with an international sales strategy.
By the end of the programme you will be able to:

Critically analyse and evaluate complex issues in a globalised, dynamic and changing business environment.
Describe the relevant economic and financial indicators, and business models for decision making.
