The International Module at the Cranfield School of Management
The international module at Cranfield is based on the fact that Britain, and London in particular, is a global hub for the worlds of finance and logistics. Cranfield’s School of Management has considerable expertise in both of these areas and benefits from its close proximity and association with leading companies and financial institutions that are central to Britain’s role in these sectors. EMBA students who elect to come to the Consortium’s International Week at Cranfield will experience a dual focus on innovations in Supply Chains that reflects the world-leading expertise of Cranfield’s faculty, as well as on global finance recognising the importance of London as a major global financial hub.
Cranfield School of Management will offer participants a programme that will be active, inspiring and varied. It will included brief residencies at two centres – Cranfield and London – and broad learning experiences based on lectures by leading experts, case study discussions, simulations, company visits and cultural attractions. There will be opportunities for quality interactions with business leaders, senior alumni and current students. Our goal is to provide you with an integrated approach to learning based on practical management skills as well as management knowledge, and one that links the worlds of global finance and supply chains.
