MBA and Postgraduate Diploma in International Management

Lead College

Royal Holloway 

Royal Holloway, founded in 1885, is one of the University of London’s six largest Colleges and is home to more than 6,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students on over 100 different degree courses. It is one of only a few colleges nationally which is allowed to use the ‘Royal’ title. Its campus is located within the Thames Valley corridor, which is host to many successful international companies, including Proctor & Gamble, Morgan Crucible, and Siebe.

For the School of Management at Royal Holloway, proximity to and partnership with such major international industries are absolutely vital. Closely involved with the School, they have played a critical role in the design of this MBA programme.

School of Management

The School of Management, now one of Royal Holloway’s largest departments, gives high priority to original research in international business, and the deep understanding of the subject that follows is reflected in its teaching of management studies. All staff members are active researchers, and the publication of their findings in books and articles is a key part of their professional work.

In developing this International Management programme the School has drawn on its experience of working with managers in industry gained through running management development courses for many well-known companies. Central to the School’s educational method is the study of different organisations and practices in different countries and at different periods. This comparative perspective is particularly appropriate to the level of thinking required of postgraduate study.

The School is also host to the Centre for Asia Pacific Business Research, which now supervises a number of research and publications projects. The Asia Pacific Business Review, edited within the Centre, represents a major initiative in the field of management studies.
