Description
The rapid growth of the Chinese economy and its increasing importance in the global economy has resulted in a growing demand for people with advanced degrees in management and an understanding of the business culture and management issues in China. The Postgraduate Diploma in International Management (China) responds to this need. You will study the interplay between domestic developments and the international perspective in China's economy and develop your understanding of management topics from an international and cross-cultural perspective.
Structure
You will study three core courses.
- International Management
- Management in China: Domestic Development
- Management in China: International Perspectives
You will also choose one elective course.
Teaching & Learning
The Postgraduate Diploma is made up of four courses. Each course is studied in eight-week sessions. You can only take one course at a time, but each course is typically available in at least two of the year's study sessions. This gives you the flexibility to plan how you study during the year, enabling you to fit your study in with your professional, family and personal commitments.
You will be individually assigned an online academic tutor for the duration of each course with whom you can discuss academic queries at regular intervals during the study session. You will also have a named administrator providing you with help and advice throughout your studies.
Before the start of each course you have enrolled in, you will be sent a package containing all of the course materials that you need to complete the course - the core text, textbooks, a collection of key articles, and any course related software.
To make your experience as a distance learning student more complete and rewarding, we provide access to the Online Study Centre, which is a web-accessed learning environment. Via the OSC, you can communicate with your assigned academic tutor, administrators and other students on the course using discussion forums. The OSC also provides access to the course Study Guide and assignments, as well as a selection of electronic journals available on the University of London Online Library.
For each course, you will sit a three-hour examination, held on a specified date in October, and complete two assignments during the course study session. Assignments are submitted and feedback given online. Examinations and assignments are weighted 70:30.
Graduate Destinations
As a graduate of this programme, you will be well prepared for management-level positions in large corporations, banks, financial services companies, business and management consultancies, and international organisations, particularly those with an emphasis on, or presence in, China.
