Operating a global business. Managing an international business portfolio. These are just some of the themes covered within the MBA in International Business at RDBS.

Studying International Business at RDBS

The RDBS MBA programme provides an experience unlike any other. Delivered globally and benchmarked against the best in the sector, it offers a highly competitive and innovative programme of study. Participants benefit from the latest management knowledge and classroom learning including a blend of global case studies challenging students to approach and solve managerial problems. Simulations of real businesses are also a key part of the programme so participants can develop problem-solving, team-working and leadership skills. All MBA programmes include seven core subjects and the opportunity to specialise through research-based options.

Aimed at practising managers or those looking to develop their knowledge and skills within an international business management role, participants will explore the management and development of people within organisations, gain an understanding of the use, range and limitation of research methods, and gain an awareness of how to develop business policies and strategies that meet the needs of stakeholders. The programme also seeks to develop students' knowledge of the finance of business, looking at how this is managed and reported and evaluate the impact of external forces on productivity.
