Program Outcome
Our students are not here just to learn facts and figures. Senior managers everywhere stress that personal skills are as important as education and intellect. Our aim is to help you become the manager of the future and so students are encouraged to develop practical business management and problem-solving skills through the team development courses and group projects. We believe that the real basis for business management is an experience. We will expose you to theories of business management and case studies of companies, and give you the opportunity to work on specific business management problems.
In the third and fourth years of the Heriot-Watt programme in International Business Management, students choose from a broad range of specialist subjects. This allows you to tailor your degree to meet your career needs and aspirations.
