The MSc program in International Business is designed to prepare you to operate in a global context and navigate international environments.
In the first year, you study at SSE, combining courses in global management with corporate finance, international projects, and project work with corporate partners. The year also includes the MIB International Immersion Internship, the MIB Research Project, and the CEMS International Internship during the summer.
Choose two out of three courses:
The MIB Professional Pathfinder Track course aims to empower you in your personal and professional development during your time at SSE. The course consists of two parts - the outer path and the inner path - and is offered in the first year of the program. Read more!
In the second year, students pursue the CEMS MIM. CEMS MIM includes a one-week block seminar at the start of the fall, a core course in the area of global strategy, and a semester at a CEMS partner school.
All students take global management practices and choose from a range of elective courses. In the spring term, students complete the CEMS Business Project, which, together with the MIB Research Project from the first year, fulfills the Master’s thesis requirement.
Elective courses allow you to tailor the program to your interests. Four electives (30 ECTS) are required, including language courses if needed. You may also take up to two additional courses (15 ECTS). Advanced courses are available in areas such as economics, accounting, finance, and marketing, as well as sustainability and data analytics.
Please note that some elements of the CEMS curriculum involve additional fees (e.g. the block seminar may cost up to €300 and central administrative expenses €110). These fees are not related to the SSE degree and do not cover educational resources or activities.
If you choose not to pursue the CEMS MIM, you may study abroad at a partner university through SSE’s exchange program or apply to the Wallenberg International Fellows Program.
