  • design, structure, organise and carry out an advanced research project

The pathway will equip students with the skills needed to develop a career within business management in areas such as:

  • management consultancy
  • marketing
  • financial management
  • human resource management.

You will benefit from Newcastle University Business School's excellent facilities and partnerships with major corporate and social enterprises and academic institutions.

Language and communication

This strand is delivered by academic staff in applied linguistics and communication within the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences. The strand comprises one compulsory module and a number of optional modules available to all cross-cultural communication students.

International management pathway-specific modules

The international management strand of taught modules is delivered by academic staff in Newcastle University Business School (NUBS). You will study with other students of international management.

Research portfolio

The research portfolio is equal to an MA-level dissertation. It involves three separate research files which take place over the course of the academic year:

  • an essay on a theoretical matter in Cross-Cultural Communication, submitted early January
  • a presentation on a methodological approach to research in Cross-Cultural Communication
  • an empirical research project conducted over the summer months, submitted at the end of August

Lectures and seminars provide support for the research portfolio. You will also receive one-to-one supervision from an academic member of staff.

Placements

You are encouraged to apply your research interests to real world case studies, particularly of international organisations or workplaces with which you have a connection.

For example, your empirical project submitted in research file three can be in connection with voluntary work (for a charity or NGO) or an internship, arranged over the summer towards the end of the course.
