MSc International Business
Lead firms, markets and teams across borders
Conferred under the Polish Law on Higher Education with European ECTS Diploma Supplement.
ApplyAcademic Overview
International business rewards those who can integrate strategy, culture, finance and institutions across jurisdictions. This MSc develops analytical frameworks for market entry, multinational enterprise design, global marketing and supply networks, while cultivating the leadership skills required for cross-cultural teams. Case work spans exporters, multinationals, joint ventures and trade promotion bodies. Warsaw campus options connect you to Poland's international business ecosystem; online cohorts join live global seminars. MSc International Business is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from International Business Environment & Institutions through International Business Environment & Institutions; Cross-Cultural Management & Global Leadership; International Economics & Trade Policy; Research Methods for International Managers; Global Strategy & Multinational Enterprise Design; International Marketing & Brand Architecture, and finish on MSc International Business Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Diagnose institutions, distance and competitive conditions in target markets Design market-entry and operating models for international expansion Manage global brands, channels and supply networks under risk Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The degree is awarded directly by IU International University of Applied Sciences, seated in Warsaw, Poland. Studies are conducted in full alignment with Polish and European academic standards.
