My favourite thing about Coventry University London was experiential learning and mixed culture. People from different parts of the world came together with a common goal in their mind and thriving to achieving the same.

The broad curriculum of this course means you’ll study nine mandatory modules plus one choice of three flexible options for your final term project. Across all mandatory modules and several of the major-project options, the learning approach is focused on teamwork, business simulations and real-world projects, all of which are underpinned by excellent academic teaching and your own personal study.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
We currently maintain strong relationships with professional associations and employers, especially when it comes to curriculum design, so what we aim to teach you is a true reflection of what’s current in industry and the skills that employers are looking for.
This course can be offered on a part-time basis. While we would like to give you all the information about our part-time offering here, it is tailored for each course each year depending on the number of part-time applicants. Therefore, the part-time teaching arrangements vary. Request further information about part-time study.
The number of full-time contact hours may vary from semester to semester; however, on average, it is likely to be around 12 contact hours per week. They may be a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, and online classes and tutorials.
Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 24 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.
As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.
Since COVID-19, we have delivered our courses in a variety of forms, in line with public authority guidance, decisions, or orders and we will continue to adapt our delivery as appropriate. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.
This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which will vary depending upon the module.
Assessment methods may include:
The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.
This course's globalised approach to the curriculum, places your learning in the context of international challenges, opportunities and regulatory frameworks. It should prepare you for working globally, whether overseas, or for a multi-national, or for a firm which trades internationally. You will have the opportunity for an international field trip. You could also arrange to do either a consultancy project or an internship2 (as part of your final major project) overseas. You may benefit from studying alongside a typically international cohort of students, learning from the perspectives they bring while developing your own ability to work cross-culturally.
I will forever cherish the classes because even when we were away from the classrooms, group activities and group discussions never ceased. Even using online platforms, lecturers encouraged a good environment for deliberation and debates - offers an unparalleled learning experience.

The course aims to help you to accelerate your career progression in international marketing upon successful completion – whether you take a holistic approach to all marketing disciplines or focus on a specialism of your choice. This course provides the opportunity to equip yourself with the high-level marketing, business and finance skills, which employers are looking for in their future leaders. Upon successful completion, you’ll potentially be able to pursue the professional, senior management and leadership roles which interest you in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. The international focus of your course means you could work almost anywhere. You could work for a multinational or a company which imports/exports, either in the UK or overseas. Upon successful completion you’ll also have an excellent skillset for helping organisations to begin doing business internationally for the first time.
When you graduate, you might choose to join a business of any size, from a start-up (perhaps your own!) to an SME or a global enterprise. Your work could take you into industry and manufacturing, the services sector, or even the charity or humanitarian sectors. You might decide to join, or start, a marketing services company/agency which supplies services to business. This could offer you a particular opportunity to specialise in areas such as market research, branding, public relations, IT, digital marketing, advertising or customer service. Another option could be consultancy, perhaps with one of the world’s leading consulting firms. Alternatively, you might go into related fields such as journalism or product research and development.
As part of the journey of professional and role development, students are encouraged to continue on their academic journey through access to a range of higher degrees, including PhD and other taught doctorates.
I recently began a role as a Customer Marketing Executive for The Gym Group in their head office in London. The International Marketing MBA course really helped me stand out from other candidates, as they were really impressed with my degree and the modules on the course. Besides my own work experience, the marketing modules in particular helped me to secure my role, as I was able to show my knowledge during tasks in the interview process.
