The Programme
The two-year Master’s programme in Global Strategy and Management offers advanced-level education in Business Administration. The programme’s vantage point is contemporary challenges and developmental issues relating to globalisation, digitalisation, and sustainable development, in the context of business and management studies. This programme is ideal if you wish to take on a responsible leadership role in your career. During the programme, you will learn to analyse complex problems and opportunities. You be taught how to use these analytical skills in your forthcoming career, to make bold decisions on new ideas and directions that can support a sustainable future.
The programme will prepare you for a career in a global or regional context. The combination of courses will advance your ability to manage strategic leadership and understand challenges in an increasingly complex and competitive business landscape. This includes the ability to manage global business and understand sustainability challenges, lead digital transformation, navigate geopolitical complexities, and seize international opportunities – in the context of small and large international firms or other types of organisations.
The programme builds on the pedagogical idea of problem- and case-based learning. This approach allows you to practice your ability to link theory and practice. It will endorse your creativity, help you to manage organisational change, and encourage you to take on challenges connected to globalisation and sustainability.
All the teaching is conducted in English.
