Course overview
MSc International Business programme is open to graduates from any discipline. Work experience is welcome but not necessary.
The programme provides students with the platform from which to understand corporate strategy and actions to address societal grand challenges in global markets, and to build up individual cultural intelligence in delivering effective communication, negotiation and work in a multicultural business environment. The programme also aims to help students establish or consolidate their career path in global firms, start-ups reaching out to international markets, or working for policy makers in international trade and investment.
Through interactive teaching and learning students are expected to develop their critical perspectives on the changing dynamics of multinational firms and small businesses and their relationships with the external environment.
The School of Finance and Management is excited to continue its collaboration with Practera, building on the success of the previous SFM Virtual Industry Projects. These bespoke work-based learning projects are designed to grow your professional skills and network through working with a team of SOAS students to tackle a real-world business challenge.
Why study MSc International Business at SOAS?
- We are ranked 38th in the UK for Accounting and Finance (Complete University Guide 2023)

Finance and Business Network Seminar 2023/24
- This Seminar Series is open to all our UG and PG students. It offers you the opportunity to engage with experts from the worlds of business, finance, banking, and the public sector.

Structure
Students must take 180 credits. These are composed of 120 taught credits comprising core, compulsory, and optional modules and a 60 credit dissertation.
Not all optional modules are offered every year. Also note that where 15 credit modules are selected, these should be balanced between term 1 and term 2.
