MSc International Management (China) (2019 Entry)

Overview:

Our MSc International Management programme focuses on management and its environment in China and includes high-level courses in international management and finance disciplines. It draws upon China experts and management specialists within the University and from positions within commerce, finance and government.

The core modules enable you to study the principles and applications of international management and the interplay between global and local factors influencing management in China. You can use the optional modules to focus on either management skills that can be applied worldwide or specialise in understanding the Chinese business environment. The programme combines the study of China with close attention to the business worlds of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

For those who choose to, this programme also offers the opportunity to learn Chinese - either at an introductory level or at an advanced level for business purposes. No knowledge of Chinese is required to complete the MSc programme successfully, since English language materials are used. Why study MSc International Management (China) at SOAS
