International Business MBA

The University of Greenwich has a long history of management education. The International Business MBA draws on decades of professional experience.

Our London-based MBA in International Business is an internationally recognised master's degree in business administration and management. We focus on developing your knowledge in business strategy and change management.

As part of the course, you must secure an internship with a company of your choice (UK or overseas), driving you to apply your knowledge and gain practical experience.

  • You can begin in September or January.
  • Our MBA combines business management theory with a one-year internship, helping to meet employers’ needs.
  • Our business, management and marketing courses are ranked in TOP 3 for course variety in London (University Guide 2021) 

Entry Requirements

  • You should have a relevant undergraduate degree at 2.2 or above, or equivalent qualification, from a recognised university or higher education institute

  • IELTS 6.5 overall with minimum 5.5 in each skill

Will I have a work placement?
