By completing your MBA, you will obtain the tools and knowledge you require to succeed in business. The specific content of each module provides students with key skills to accomplish large in business.

Business Strategy and Policy
The purpose of this course is to analyse the different processes and methods a firm can use to develop, innovate or modify the role it has in its environment. The aim is to examine the best way to achieve the
chosen objectives, with the characteristics of international management policies and business globalisation.

Entrepreneurship
This course explores the characteristics of entrepreneurial opportunities. We will discuss the individual skills, energy, capital, and individual mind set or psychology usually found in entrepreneurs. The venture planning
process and the creativity, legal aspects, marketing, capital, and selection of associates are all discussed, as well as evaluation of risk factors. Class sessions will be interactive, and students will prepare cases.

Human Resource Management
This course will show how important the human factor is in the development of a firm's social strategies (recruitment, motivation and estimated management policies). The course also analyses the capacity
to anticipate and adjust the different needs and resources for organisational change.

International Finance
The course examines the environment in which the international financial manager operates. Students examine the risk of doing business overseas and the means to minimise those risks. Foreign exchange
risks, political risks, hedging, treasury trends and trade finance are discussed within this context.

International Business
This module is designed to develop an understanding of the nature and environment of international business with an analysis of international opportunities. The aim of the course is to provide managers with a broad, integrated, international focus and knowledge that they can use to improve their performance in multinational organisations.

International Marketing
This course examines the problems that firms encounter when they enter international markets. The texts and readings explore marketing problems facing point venture and multinational firms as well as exports
and licenses. A range of marketing activity is convened in the context of international operation.

Managerial Accounting
This course offers an intensive study of financial statement analysis including the forces underlying the provision of financial statements, the properties of numbers derived from financial statement information,
the environment in which these decisions are made, and alternative evaluation techniques.

Managerial Communication
The course helps students realise how important communicating effectively is for future managers at all levels. The emphasis will be placed on practising some of the various forms of communication and in
controlling their feed-back mechanism.

Managerial Economics
This course helps students to understand how a firm develops in a competitive structure, with the formation
of the different economic balances: supply and demand on a market, price mechanism, cost of goods and services, production and price-market relation.

Managerial Finance
This course provides a comprehensive coverage of the most significant topics in financial management.
The course emphasises the time-value of money and relates each major financial decision to the goal of
maximising the value of the firm.

Managerial Marketing
This course examines the different concepts of strategic marketing (buyer's behaviour, segmentation, positioning) and marketing mix (price, production, distribution, communication). Skills in this field help decision makers, especially in fixing business policies, distribution and management methods.

Organisation Behaviour
This course provides tools for understanding how organisations function, from individual behaviour (perception, attitude, personalitiy, motivation) to group interaction (communication, conflicts, negotiation).
