课程特征 Course Features：
The MSc in Economic Competitiveness and International Business explores the impact that global businesses have on localities, societies and economic policies, looking at how these factors impact on business.
This programme offers a different perspective from other international business degrees in that it positions the world of business in its economic (and associated social and political) environment. It considers issues such as globalisation, competitiveness and innovation, the effectiveness of the EU and other organisations, and the impact of security and conflict on international business.
The programme combines business and economics studies, together with issues related to political economy and policy. Its core themes include economic competitiveness; international business economics; globalisation; economic development and growth; and the role of the government and policy.
The programme has ESRC accreditation.
