More specifically, the programme aims to provide you with: an ability to apply your knowledge and understanding of international business management to complex issues, both systematically and creatively an understanding of how to improve the quality of management, leadership and business practice within international organisations an opportunity to engage in the advanced study of organisations, their management and the cultural context(s) in which they operate an ability to critically evaluate these issues within the context of the activities of businesses, government and non-governmental organisations 4 The degree has been designed for individuals who aspire to a career in international business management and will practically prepare you for a range of positions in international, multinational or transnational companies. The programme will also provide you with the expertise appropriate to a management career in the not-for-profit sector. On a practical level, you will develop an understanding of, and applied skills in: multi-stakeholder perspectives in respect of the strategic management challenges brought about by increased globalisation including: the implications of international organisation (merger/acquisitions and alliances); relationships between headquarters and subsidiaries; and international aspects of corporate governance the implications of leadership and top management team composition for managing within, and across, national borders critical analysis in the context of the activities of business, government and nongovernmental organisations MORE: ncl.ac.uk/nubs

10 Newcastle University Business School: Postgraduate Handbook Your assessment The assessment will depend on the individual module. You can expect to be assessed by a variety of means, including examinations, assignments both individual and group, presentations and the dissertation. The mix of assessment methods is to allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the knowledge outcomes of the programme and also your assimilation of the skills developed during your Master s programme. The assessment methods used in individual modules are included in the module outlines. The assessments for the taught modules are summarised in the table opposite. Details of assessment deadlines will be provided on the Postgraduate Blackboard Community within the first two weeks of term to allow you to plan your workload. You should familiarise yourself with the assignment submission procedures available on the Postgraduate Blackboard Community. All assignments for Business School postgraduate modules must be submitted by on the specified deadline date. 9 Most assignment deadlines are set at on a Monday morning. This timing was decided upon following feedback from students in previous years as it allows you to make full use of the weekend for working on your assessment but doesn t overlap with classes on a Monday. Please note that work submitted after the specified deadline, even by just a few minutes, will be treated as a late submission in line with University policy. Please see further details in the Postgraduate Study Guide on late submission of assessed work. Occasionally, a module leader may change an assignment deadline (almost always to a later date). You will be notified of this in advance by by either the module leader or the relevant programme secretary. For all assignment deadlines, you should receive your marks and feedback within 20 working days. There may be certain exceptions to this turnaround time, but you will be notified of this at the time the deadline is set. For Semester 1 exams, generic feedback will be provided for the module early in Semester 2 to help you prepare for Semester 2 exams. For any students required to resit any exam, as a minimum generic feedback will be provided at least four weeks before the resit exam. Individual feedback for any exam can be provided on request after exam boards have met. Opposite is an overview of the assessment methods for the taught modules taken at Newcastle University Business School. Further details of the assessment structure will be provided during the taught sessions for each module.
