Master of Science - International Business and Entrepreneurship

International business and entrepreneurial expansion is a desirable business strategy as it opens more avenues for revenue, but careful consideration must be paid to differences in how countries and cultural nuance impact business decisions.

The MSc International Business and Entrepreneurship explores the theoretical and practical aspects of starting, growing and developing businesses across international borders. Students examine different types of international business activity and the theories and innovative approaches to new business creation in different cultural and economic contexts. Students do not need to have previously studied business to apply for this course.

This course develops students' practical business skills and theoretical knowledge, so they're best prepared to launch their own venture, or apply entrepreneurship in an existing company.

This course is delivered by Essex Business School at the Southend Campus. Students and staff come to us from all over the world, creating a classroom experience rich in diversity and working together to build a global understanding. The University of Essex is also a place with entrepreneurial spirit; they have more start-up businesses than any other county in the UK. Together this entrepreneurial spirit and global community make for the perfect place to study entrepreneurship and international business.

The course benefits from current research by the Strategy, Operations and Entrepreneurship group and focuses on answering the question: “How can organisations and entrepreneurs increase their benefits to society and minimise their environmental impact?” A Masters from Essex Business School can give students a solid foundation on which to build their career in international business and entrepreneurship.
