MSc International Business Economics

Understanding international business provides a context for identifying opportunities and analyzing risks inherent in the global environment. MSc International Business Economics is designed for those who have a solid background in business and management studies and want to expand that knowledge internationally with a clear focus on economics.

The program provides a grounding in aspects of quantitative methods, business economics, the international business environment, the multinational enterprise, and the international macro-financial environment. Combining international business and applied economics provides students with a solid foundation for work within international organizations or as an applied/business economist.

Students have the opportunity to incorporate research themes of economics and international finance into their research projects and independent studies. Indeed, this could provide a route to more advanced study at the doctoral level for promising candidates.

Prioritising Face-to-Face Teaching

At the University of Lincoln, we strive to ensure our students’ experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, we have adapted to Government guidance to keep our students, staff, and community safe. All remaining Covid-19 legal restrictions in England were lifted in February 2022 under the Government&rsquo's Plan for Living with Covid-19, and we have embraced a safe return to in-person teaching on campus. Where appropriate, face-to-face teaching is enhanced by the use of digital tools and technology and may be complemented by online opportunities where these support learning outcomes.

We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance make this necessary, and we will endeavor to keep current and prospective students informed.

At Lincoln International Business School, our aim is to deliver excellent research which benefits businesses and policy-makers while at the same time deepening understanding and contributing to our teaching.

To do so we engage actively with a wide array of collaborative partners drawn from other universities, business, non-profit, government, and non-government organisations across the world.
