TAKE A GLOBAL OUTLOOK ON MANAGEMENT
BOSTON University became the first major American University to offer postgraduate business degrees in London in 1978. In 1988, the university introduced Master of Science in Management degree (MSM) with emphasis on the global marketplace, and now offers a master of Arts in International Relations degree. This postgraduate business degree varies from the normal MBA courses in its comprehensive (12) global outlook, designed to equip students to integrate diverse concepts in policy and strategy in a complex and changing environment. In today's world, this is more important than ever for managers.
All areas of study are designed to focus on the international aspects of business. They offer flexible courses with evening and weekend classes, internship arrangements and an American education approach. Classes are offered on a full-time or part-time basis with full time students in two. Internships (13) are available to full time students.
Prospective students for the MSM degree must have a bachelors degree and applicants are accepted for semesters beginning September, January or May. Subjects include management policy, operation arrangements, marketing, finance, accounting and information systems management. With a highly motivated and diverse international student population Boston University in London is a unique place to learn management for the 1990s.
