Each of our modules covers the latest trends and techniques to reflect the evolving nature of the global business environment.

In addition, BSBI’s blended study mode means that you will have the flexibility to fit the course around your schedule, including work and family responsibilities.

You will earn a master’s degree with 90 European University Credits (ECTS). This helps student mobility in the EU when it comes to transferring credits from one higher education institution to another.

Whilst students may be familiar with the Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) qualification, a Global MBA offers something slightly different. Whereas a standard MBA programme will focus on ensuring individuals develop the skills needed to create, build and grow a business, a Global MBA goes one step further. Individuals will understand how to take these businesses global and how to navigate the challenges of an increasingly globalised world.

Studying a Global MBA will expose you to the international business environment and ensure you build a professional network that reaches all corners of the globe. Therefore, if you’re thinking about building a global career, studying this programme will help you to achieve your goals. In addition, you will have the opportunity to explore a variety of different career opportunities. Furthermore, the demand for global management professionals is high and increasing. Gaining a Global MBA will help you to stand out from other candidates whilst also developing your knowledge of how to navigate a dynamic and challenging environment.

There are a number of opportunities a graduate with a Global MBA degree could consider pursuing ranging from consultant level roles all the way through to managerial roles and directorships. Several of the roles you may consider include: international trade policy advisor, global management consultant, international sales manager, business development manager and global marketing manager.

For those considering taking on a consultancy role, you can expect a salary of up to €50,000. Alternatively, if you are aiming for a managerial role, you can expect a salary of between €50,000 through to €80,000.
