The BSc International Management (Middle East and North Africa) provides students with a strong grounding in international management and specialist knowledge of business and management in the Middle East and North Africa. Students take courses in accounting, finance, managerial economics, marketing, corporate governance, research methods and international business strategy, together with specialist courses that draw on SOAS’s knowledge of management and finance in the Middle East and North Africa and their economic, historical and cultural context.
The programme aims to provide students with a conceptual understanding of core principles of international management and finance, together with the ability to apply this knowledge to real issues facing business and other organisations that operate in the Middle East and North Africa or that deal with organisations in those countries. Students have the opportunity to take approved courses from other SOAS departments, such as Law, Politics, Economics and Languages and Cultures of the Middle East and North Africa, providing a rich inter-disciplinary learning environment.

A Student's Perspective
Andre KeuckThe Finance & Financial Law program was fantastic in its ability to blend the relevance of legal constructs with the more technical elements of finance, without sacrificing depth for breadth. This approach was especially useful for those of us who had had exposure to finance and law, but not both at the same time, or in such an integrated manner.
