This course is driven by the increasingly global nature of the financial services industry and the continued expansion of international trade. The qualification is relevant if you are a management professional responsible for serving overseas customers and clients through exporting, or if you are involved in overseas commercial activities. It is particularly relevant if you are working in, or intending to work, in organisations with a global reach, or involved in international strategic alliances. The course will provide you with the expertise required for general management positions in international organisations. In addition to UK-based delivery, market interest in China and Vietnam prompted the development of a collaborative arrangement for delivery in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Hangzhou, China. If you are studying in China, you will have the option to study one semester in Leeds as part of your course.

In this globally expanding world, a wide range of private sector, public sector and not-for-profit organisations are increasingly looking for well-qualified managers with international financial, economic, legal, marketing and strategic understanding and capability. If you are studying in Leeds, the local and regional economy offers a range of potential employment and career opportunities in regional and international organisations.
