The Global Business University MSc in Strategic Management approaches management as an integrating activity that relates to the organisation as a whole, rather than as something relevant to one part of a company or as serving only one function. The course recognises that management practices are no longer confined to national borders but are instead spread over a global scene. It puts great emphasis on the dominance of new technologies, especially e-business, recognising how management must now always take notice of technological advances.

You will receive a broad and thorough training in the kinds of problem solving that equip you for decision-making responsibilities in the business world. The Global Business University MSc in Strategic Management has been developed in association with international corporations, ensuring that it will teach you skills that are applicable in shifting contexts. It is intended for both active managers and recent graduates interested in advanced studies.
More specifically, you should expect to develop the following:
– Basic analytical skills for management, including fundamental concepts and principles from various management disciplines and the use and applications of these skills;
– In-depth knowledge across a broad range of management contexts;
– Skills in using management tools in an imaginative, orderly, problem-solving capacity by first identifying problems, then analysing alternative solutions, and, finally, implementing the chosen solutions;
– The ability to make and carry out decisions;
– Effective communication skills with others, in writing and in person.
– A sound basis for continuous learning from experience.
– A recognition of the overall economic, political and social environment in which the manager lives and works.
The MSc in Strategic Management consists of the following compulsory subjects:
1. BUSINESS POLICY & STRATEGY
2. EXECUTIVE SKILLS
3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & e-BUSINESS
4. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
5. RESEARCH METHODS
6. GLOBAL MARKETING STRATEGIES
7. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
In addition, you will have to write a 10,000-word dissertation. The dissertation is a major part of the MSc and tests your ability to formulate complex and nuanced thinking, communicate it intelligibly and intelligently, and manage a project that is expected to last for several months. You should start thinking about the topic of your dissertation long before the completion of the programme. The dissertation must be on a topic agreed with your tutor. If upon submission the dissertation is not deemed to be of an acceptable standard, then you will need to re-submit your dissertation within two months and pay a resubmission fee of 100 euro.
Entry requirements are flexible and vary, but we generally demand:
(a) a first degree from CIM (BVI) / GBU-Europe;
OR
(b) an Honours degree from an internationally accredited university
OR
(c) a professional qualification from an internationally recognised professional body.
Upon successful completion of all modules and the dissertation, you will be awarded an MSc in Strategic Management.
We don’t usually offer exemptions at graduate level, but if you think you have a strong case you are welcome to complete the exemption form that is part of the application form.
Programme fees for Distance Learning students are set at 4,000 euro. On top of the programme fees, you will need to pay an application fee of 80 Euro, examination fees (130 euro per subject), as well as a dissertation evaluation fee of 250 euro.
