Msc. in International Business and Digital Transformation

This 18-month dual degree, run jointly by Henley Business School and POLIMI Graduate School of Management, equips students to investigate, identify and implement the strategic choices multinational firms make to compete in an increasingly digitalised global economy. Teaching runs across three locations: Semester 1 in Reading, Semester 2 in Milan and Semester 3 completed remotely, ending in an internship- or research-based Advanced Project. Core modules pair international business and strategy — International Strategic Management, The Evolution of Multinational Enterprises, Managing Across Borders — with digital and operations content taught at POLIMI, including digital technologies for internationalisation, international distribution and the legal and tax aspects of digital business. It is designed for graduates of any discipline holding a good second-class honours degree who want to lead digital transformation in global firms, with graduates reported to be employed as managers and consultants one year after graduation.
