Learning Experience
The MBA in International Management
has been designed as a Master’s degree which will equip you with the
practical knowledge you will need to succeed in a career in international
management. Much effort has been put into developing courses that will
provide students with first rate theoretical and practical skills
THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The University has developed
a robust set of learning materials to ensure that you have access to
a top quality learning experience. The following are crucial to this
approach.
Student handbook: The handbook
is designed to guide you through the MBA programme and provides information
on:
- Study timetable.
- Course structure.
- Academic team
- Examinations.
- Administration.
- Regulations.
Assignments: Assignments
are a key element in the learning experience.
For each course this will
consist of a 3,000-word assignment. These will include case study-based
and business-related assignments to give a range of challenges for you
to tackle. In addition, there will be two business-related integrative
group assignments over the MBA programme involving groups of five to
six people.
Support and service standards:
You will have access to the
academic team in their normal surgery hours and to an individual tutor.
Contact points will include individual academics and a central administration
fax/phone/e-mail address.
Study experience: The
full-time taught programme uses a mix of contact experiences to build
upon the material covered in the study guides, including lectures and
workshops.
These run for a maximum of
11 weeks during the Autumn and Spring terms. Group projects are also
a key feature of the MBA programme.
You will undertake one group
project per term, the first focusing on business planning and new product
development; the second case study-based and featuring an assignment
on strategy.
Management development:
The Management Development Programme is a very important part of the
Royal Holloway MBA programme and will help you develop practical skills
– both to assist in your studies and for application in the working
environment. These workshops focus on personal development related to
communication, business statistics, information technology, team and
project leadership and management, and basic business finance awareness.
In addition, the University
offers a Business Masterclass, a series of four two-hour seminars per
year featuring presentations from business leaders and other guest speakers.
A study workshop will cover
International Business research and end with a diagnostic test. Integrative
case studies are also included in the programme to integrate the functional
areas of study covered in the six core courses.
