This course will equip you with the high-level marketing, business and finance skills which employers are looking for in their future leaders. You’ll be able to pursue the professional, senior management and leadership roles which interest you in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Alternatively, you’ll have a higher chance of achieving success if you start your own business.

The international focus of your course means you could work almost anywhere. You could work for a multinational or a company which imports/exports, either in the UK or overseas. You’ll also have an excellent skillset for helping organisations to begin doing business internationally for the first time. 

Where our graduates work

When you graduate, you might choose to join a business of any size, from a start-up (perhaps your own!) to an SME or a global enterprise. Your work could take you into industry and manufacturing, the services sector, or even the charity or humanitarian sectors.

You might decide to join, or start, a marketing services company/agency which supplies services to business. This would offer you a particular opportunity to specialise in areas such as market research, branding, public relations, IT, digital marketing, advertising or customer science.

Another option could be consultancy, perhaps with one of the world’s leading consulting firms. Alternatively, you might go into related fields such as journalism or product R&D.
