It was a pleasure to be involved in this year's IBEM course again and we very much enjoyed the recent presentations and having the students interpret our real life business challenges from a non J&J perspective.Barry Buchanan

Why Work with Our IBEM Students?
Our MSc in International Business and Emerging Markets attracts a varied group of graduates united by common interest in doing international business and finding opportunities in emerging markets. Teams are designed to be as culturally diverse as possible, reflecting the international makeup of the programme.
What Kinds of Project are Suitable?
Projects can focus on any aspect of an organisation's business, provided that there is an emerging markets element. We are able to consider any emerging market country or region. If you are interested in more than one market, we may supply more than one team.
