It isfocused principally at company-level study and offers the chance to examine: the role of multinationals; corporate governance and finance; privatisation; entrepreneurship, and the determinants of innovation and technological change within the European area, making our graduates well equipped to enter the global marketplace. Our programme offers you discipline-based training combined with practical application, drawing on the experience of the 28 nations that have emerged from the former Soviet block in Europe and Asia. You will be equipped with strong foundations in both international business and economics as well as in finance and corporate governance. You'll also have the option to take a language from the region should you choose. The programme is suitable for those with a background in economics who wish to develop the skills necessary for further research in this field, for work in international business for European and national government institutions, and for developing their own entrepreneurial ventures.
