Innovative Features
An integral part of the degree programme which comprises numerous activities throughout the year in which students learn about business culture and the ways in which managers develop businesses both in the UK and internationally. Activities include:
- Induction Day: Held in a Scottish castle on the banks of Loch Lomond.
- Company Visits: Successful managers share their own experiences of international management.
- Key Institutions: Visit to the new Scottish Parliament, a key vehicle in the success of Scotland's economy on the world stage.
This includes innovative elements including 'how a Western meal works' (including the selection of wines). Students will be engaged in activities which will familiarise them as to how to behave in international management settings.
Textbooks are supplied to programme participants for all core modules (except Developing a Business Plan and Doing Business Abroad, where there is no appropriate text).
The Andersonian Library (mostly housed within its Short Loan Collection) has an extensive collection of books which have been acquired specifically for the MIM programme.
Programme participants will also have access to the resources of the Business Information Service (BIS). This service is a superb resource available to students of the Department of Management and will help in the production of business plans, reports and other assignments.
A number of classes will be held on Study Skills, run by the Centre for Academic Practice. The sessions deal with skills relating to the writing of reports, essays and case studies; preparing for examinations; and writing development.
In addition, the Careers Advisory Service will hold sessions for MIM programme participants on CV preparation, job search and interviewing techniques.
