International Business and Management MSc

At Westminster, you won’t just sit in lectures — you’ll constantly apply what you learn to real business situations. From working on live case studies to using industry-standard tools, the MSc International Business and Management is built to give you the kind of hands-on experience employers ask for. You’ll study at the Marylebone campus, right in central London, surrounded by modern learning spaces, specialist labs, and access to some of the best business facilities in the university.

And because the programme uses practical teaching methods throughout, you’ll spend a lot of time discussing real companies, solving real problems, and working with classmates just like you would in a global workplace. Here’s how that experience comes to life:

• Live business cases and real-world scenarios: Classes regularly involve tackling business problems drawn from real organisations, so you're constantly applying strategy, marketing and management skills to real-time issues.

• Financial Markets Suite (Bloomberg-powered): You’ll have access to Westminster’s virtual trading and analytics environment, giving you hands-on experience with real financial data — perfect for modules involving international economy and financial markets.

• Digital Marketing Lab (Switch23): For modules touching on cross-cultural marketing and global communication, you can use the university’s dedicated digital marketing space to experiment with campaigns, strategy and digital tools used in modern businesses.

• Group projects and team-based learning: Many assignments are designed for teamwork, helping you build leadership, communication and cross-cultural collaboration skills — exactly what global employers look for.

• Marylebone Campus facilities: Your teaching takes place at the university’s business-focused Marylebone campus, giving you access to modern lecture theatres, seminar rooms, computer labs, and the Marylebone Library for research and study support.

• Digital learning tools: You’ll use the university’s virtual learning environment for recorded lectures, online materials, assessments and collaborative work — making it easy to stay organised and prepared.

Graduates from Westminster’s MSc International Business and Management step into careers where they apply their global mindset every day — whether working as business advisors, market-intelligence analysts, marketing managers or strategy consultants. The programme is designed to give you the confidence and practical experience to move smoothly into early-career roles in international business, marketing, finance or consultancy. And because you’re studying in London with strong links to employers, you’ll be starting your career in one of the world’s most connected business environments.

Here’s what this means for you:

• University career support that stays with you: Westminster’s Careers and Employability service helps you prepare for the job market through CV coaching, interview practice, career events and employer connections. Even after you graduate, you get three full years of ongoing support — including job listings, workshops and guidance if you’re considering entrepreneurship.

• Graduate employment outcomes: The programme embeds work-related learning, live business cases and career-development skills into the curriculum, which is why graduates successfully transition into roles across consulting, corporate strategy, marketing, finance, trade and more.

• Industry connections that matter: Westminster business graduates have gone on to companies like Google, Deloitte, KPMG UK and Samsung — a signal that top employers recognise the value of the university’s business education and the practical skills students bring.

• Long-term benefit of CMI alignment: The course is aligned with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). This means you can earn the CMI Level 7 Diploma and receive Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status — a respected credential that strengthens your professional profile long after graduation.

• A globally flexible career path: Because you study everything from strategy and trade to cross-cultural marketing and sustainability, you’ll have the freedom to explore multiple career directions and adapt easily as industries change.
