International Management

International management is the study of how organisations operate, compete, and grow across national borders. It examines the strategic, financial, marketing, and human dimensions of managing in diverse cultural and institutional environments, with particular attention to the economies and markets that are driving the most significant shifts in the global business landscape. The discipline takes seriously the differences between national contexts, asking what works in one market and why it might not work in another, and how effective managers build the cultural intelligence to operate across those differences.

At King's College London, this four-year full-time programme at an entry tariff of 232 points covers the full range of management disciplines, including economics, accounting, finance, marketing, organisational behaviour, human resource management, and sociology, bringing them into focus through the lens of international and emerging market contexts. You will develop both analytical rigour and the practical management understanding that employers in major international organisations expect. A sandwich year places you in a professional environment for an extended period, a year abroad deepens your international exposure, and work placement experience is integrated throughout the programme.

Graduates from this programme at King's go on to careers in multinational corporations, management consultancy, investment banking, international development organisations, the civil service, and organisations operating across emerging markets. The combination of management training with a specific focus on international and emerging economy contexts is particularly valued by employers who need graduates who can think and operate beyond a single national market. Postgraduate study in international business, management, finance, and global affairs is a natural progression, and many graduates proceed to MBA programmes and professional qualifications.
