International Curriculum
An International Curriculum
The diverse mix of students and staff within the School is a great asset, which the School is keen to exploit. In learning and teaching all students have many opportunities to work in cross-cultural groups and to learn from each other. The curriculum content reflects our mission to develop graduates who will be responsible global citizens able to work for the common good of business and society.
We are actively incorporating an international dimension into our teaching provision in various ways:
- Developing a varied portfolio of programmes which are responsive to changing contexts, locally, nationally and globally. This has included mainstreamed internationalisation in both the programme and module approval process
- Encouraging the use of different cultural viewpoints and examples within the curriculum
- Offering students the opportunity to study abroad, to take part in various international exchange programmes, and to learn a foreign language while they are studying with us
- Introducing an international induction programme for Masters students
Other measures have included the International Student Skills Enhancement Programme developed by the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences to support International Masters students in their studies. This is integrated with the Faculty Research Training Programme.
The measures outlined here are just some examples of how we are working to develop cultural awareness in our students and to ensure that our curriculum is as internationally relevant as possible. We will continue to develop new ways of doing this. Many programmes have been specifically designed with a strong international focus. This is particularly true of our suite of postgraduate programmes where specific examples include:
MA International Economics and Finance
MA International Financial Analysis
MA International Human Resource Management
MA International Business Management
MSc International Marketing
Our MBA, Executive MBA and DBA programmes also have
