The Extended MSc International Business with Data Analytics with Advanced Practice combines business management, international strategy, and data analytics with valuable workplace experience.

The Extended MSc International Business with Data Analytics with Advanced Practice is designed for students who need additional preparation before starting a master's degree. The course combines a Graduate Certificate with a full MSc programme, helping students build academic and business skills before progressing to postgraduate study. Students learn about international business, global marketing, finance, data analytics, entrepreneurship, and business strategy.

The Advanced Practice stage provides valuable workplace experience through a 15-week internship or a live consultancy project with a real organisation. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials, and independent study, helping students develop leadership, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Applicants should normally hold a third class, pass, or ordinary degree, or an equivalent qualification.
