<h2><strong>Module Description</strong></h2>
<p>There are no average modules within our LL.M in International Business Law programme. We are committed to providing an exceptional learning experience, and there is no better way to achieve this than with outstanding modules. They have been carefully crafted by experienced professors and are all intended to make you a more successful and efficient legal professional.</p>
<p>There are no old-fashioned exams. Instead, you are given real-life case studies to work on and essays to write, which allow you to think critically about current legal issues that might be directly relevant to your own career. All this might seem too glossy but there is one catch: we do not accept average candidates. Only individuals as outstanding as our values are accepted for admission to Robert Kennedy College.</p>
<p><strong>Induction</strong></p>
<p><em>Not-for-credit module</em></p>
<p>A not-for-credit induction module will be the starting point of the programme. The induction process is designed to familiarise you with the programme design, requirements and resources, as well as with the way online interaction, learning and grading will take place.

<p><strong>Advanced Legal Skills <sup>LAWS7100</sup></strong></p>
<p>This module, which is compulsory for all LLM students, provides an opportunity for students to develop core skills in legal research. Expert guidance is provided in locating and using international law sources especially electronic sources. Particular attention is also paid to analysis of legal texts, reasoning skills, presenting research, both orally and in writing and appropriate referencing.</p>
<p><strong>International Alternative Dispute Resolution <sup>LAWS7104</sup></strong></p>
<p>The purpose of this module is to familiarise students with a wide range of dispute resolution processes as alternatives to conventional forms of adjudication and their impact on legal system. The module will equip you with basic tools which can help you in representing your client in an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, primarily in mediation. The module in particular aims to form ones own approach to help clients and society select and employ the most effective, just, and humane methods of dispute resolution. The module will cover a wide range of jurisdictions where ADR is possible, developing a comparative standpoint and focusing more on the broad area of commercial disputes. ADR is a truly interdisciplinary field comprising law, social science, economics, psychology and others. However, the module is primarily designed for lawyers and experts directly involved in resolution of legal disputes. ADR is also a newly emerging and vibrant area of scholarship where it is impossible to give simple &ldquo;yes&rdquo; or &ldquo;no&rdquo; answers to most questions. Therefore the module will employ critical thinking and an open discussion approach.</p>
<p><strong>Transnational Business Law <sup>LAWS7123</sup></strong></p>
<p>The aim of this module is to provide students with a sound understanding of different issues in transnational business law. This survey of transnational business law will cover several topics including transnational lawyering, the international legal environment, international tax law, transnational sales, agency &amp; distribution agreements, mergers &amp; acquisitions and joint ventures.</p>
<p>Through the analysis of both the case law and sample agreements emphasis will be placed on practical issues in a range of transnational legal problems relevant to both legal practitioners and international managers.</p>
<p><strong>Corporate Governance <sup>LAWS7136</sup></strong></p>
<p>This module allows students to gain a comprehensive understanding of International Corporate Governance. The topics covered range from the core OECD principles to the exploration of corporate governance in international bodies like the IMF and the World Bank and in several jurisdictions like the U.S., the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Japan. Topics include Auditing liabilities, Board oversight and liabilities, detection and prevention of management fraud.</p>
<p><strong>Dissertation <sup>LAWS7122</sup></strong></p>
<p>This dissertation module aims to enable students to provide a major piece of summary evidence as to the student's understanding of corporate governance.</p>
<p>It will provide an opportunity for the students to demonstrate how they can synthesise their acquired knowledge and skills into an analytical or empirical study of a legal topic relevant to their degree.</p>

<p>The rapid emergence of digital media over the last few years has revolutionised the way that companies can undertake their marketing with an ability to almost target customers on an individual basis.

<p>The MBA is the prime management qualification for managers. Designed for your success, the MBA creates distinctive managers with a comprehensive knowledge of the latest business practices.Managers, and even more so IT managers, have nowadays to deal with the interconnected business and technology worlds. While all these leaders usually have a deep background in information systems management, either acquired practically, or through previous tech-related studies, they are usually also accountable for leading a highly qualified team and overseeing key projects and assets. Long gone are the days when one could casually ignore business matters to focus on improving IT technologies and services. It is common knowledge that managers, be they in IT or not, who do not fully recognise and support their enterprise's business goals put their own job at risk. This is a key driver for managers, who want to gain exposure to how technology intertwines with business, seeking to gain an MBA. The MBA Information Technology answers this demand, providing students with the skills required to manage both IT systems and people, blending the established business knowledge of an MBA with specialised courses on Information Management and Internet of Things.</p>

<p>International relations have come into existence ever since Antiquity, when people first organised themselves in city-states. In recent times, when information has become easily transmissible, enabled organisations and businesses to grow and spread and become multinational and some have come to generate revenue that exceeds the GDP of many nations, permitting these organisations to employ extraordinary influence over international politics. The technological revolution and the rise of social media have further linked global audiences in ways that were next to impossible prior. Information is now available a fingertip away, nearly in real-time. Governments and businesses alike are now pursuing professional individuals, skilled in international relations and diplomacy, who can facilitate them measuring up to the needs and challenges of this shift towards globalisation.</p>
<p>The MBA International Relations and Diplomacy will prepare students with the skill set required to understand and confront the challenges and prospects of the contemporary global order, by enhancing the classic MBA with modules on Essentials of Risk Management, Digital Marketing and International Relations and Diplomacy.</p>

<h2><strong>Module Description</strong></h2>
<p>There are no average courses within our MBA programme. We are bound to provide an exceptional learning experience, and there is no better way to achieve this aim than with outstanding courses. They have been carefully crafted by experienced professors and are all meant to make you a more successful and efficient manager.</p>
<p>There are no old-fashioned exams. Instead you are given real-life case studies and essays, which allow you to think critically about your company and your own career. All this might seem too glossy but there is one catch: we do not accept average candidates. Only individuals as outstanding as our values can find their way toward admission at the Robert Kennedy College.</p>
<p><strong>Induction</strong></p>
<p><em>Not-for-credit module</em></p>
<p>A not-for-credit induction module will be the starting point of the programme. The induction process is designed to familiarise you with the programme design, requirements and resources, as well as with the way online interaction, learning and grading will take place. After the induction you should be familiar with academic life, including academic writing, library services and library access, OnlineCampus access, and academic support services.</p>
<p><strong>Organisational Behaviour</strong></p>
<p>The aims of this module are to provide an introduction to core concepts of the way people are managed in organisations. To that end it will offer opportunities for study by prospective as well as experienced managers, to consider the history and development of management thinking and theory, using modern ideas to assess and evaluate their own personal experiences of organisations and dynamics. The introduction to the module will act as bedrock upon which other managerial ideas and processes can be developed later in the course.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing Management</strong></p>
<p>You will reinvent the airline business, redefine the boundaries of retailing, manage the sales of an online computer mega store, and learn how to focus on your customer. Seems like a bold prediction but it is just the content of marketing management directed by a marketing specialist.</p>
<p>The teaching of market segmentation, environment, research, innovative sales system, international marketing and policy planning and implementation will make sure that your view of marketing will never be the same. A concrete marketing plan for your company or your own business will be your final assessment, providing you with flexibility and effective learning results, which you can assess and apply in no time.</p>
<p><strong>Financial Management</strong></p>
<p>Business is about profit, and there can only be sustainability with a proper knowledge of effective financial management. Oxford and Harvard Business School graduate Prof. David Duffill will expand and reinforce your knowledge of financial accounting, management accounts, budgeting and financing.</p>
<p>Once again, the course leader is not just crunching numbers. He will link each topic to real financial situations where you, as the manager in chief, have to assess the financial performance of successful corporations, and develop sharp analytical skills with tools like decision tree analysis.</p>
<p>Financial Management is about successful financial results. At the end of this course you will not only know the basics, but you will be in the position to master every component of superior financial management and analysis.</p>
<p><strong>Leadership and Sustainability</strong></p>
<p>The aim of this module is to examine the nature of leadership and in particular its role in the development of sustainable business and business practices. Among other activities you will analyse and evaluate the business case for sustainable practice in selected sectors and organisations, examine the potential for implementing sustainable business practices for selected sectors and organisations, analyse personal leadership practice and its development and evaluate the personal relevance of and implications for leading sustainable change in business.</p>
<p><strong>Tackling Global-Local Challenges in Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability</strong></p>
<p>This unique module aims to provide learners with the opportunity to conceptualise ethics, responsibility and sustainability in diverse global settings. It allows students to develop an insight into the expanding role of sustainable development, corporate governance, responsible business practice and the ethical dimensions of organisational policies and practices.</p>
<p>University of Cumbria faculty members will guide you in the daily classes, enriched by contemporary case studies and teamwork in this innovative and unique topic.</p>
<p>There will be an option to take this as a residential at University of Cumbria in the UK.</p>
<p><strong>Information Management</strong> <em>Elective module</em></p>
<p>Cloud Computing, Linux and Open Source Software, Social Media. These are only few of the new technological innovations and, at the same time, challenges presented to the managers of tomorrow.</p>
<p>This module aims to enable you to develop a conceptual and comprehensive understanding of the manager's role in relation to the leading of the effective management and use of information, information technology, and information systems and to apply these within an organisational/strategic context.</p>
<p><strong>Money Management</strong> <em>Elective module</em></p>
<p>The successful management of financial assets, be they of an individual, a small business, or a large corporation demands a knowledge of financial markets, how they operate, what instruments and investment vehicles are available, and what macro-economic forces are acting upon them. This module is designed to provide you with a broad understanding of financial markets (as distinct from a narrow specialist approach) but with sufficient details of their many components so that you may make your own investment decisions and interact with your specialist advisers.</p>
<p>Particular attention will be given to portfolio composition and management through ETF (Exchange Traded Funds), Mutual Funds and other innovative vehicles like structured products. Students attending this class will be able to access the Morningstar Investment Research Library and run a simulated portfolio through the OnlineCampus Trading platform.</p>
<p><strong>Corporate Strategy and Competitiveness</strong> <em>Elective module</em></p>
<p>In cooperation with the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness of the Harvard Business School, Robert Kennedy College is offering this outstanding course designed by Professor Michael Porter, the Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at Harvard Business School and the leading authority on corporate strategy and competitiveness. Taught by Robert Kennedy College Deputy Dean and Harvard Business School MBA graduate Professor David Duffill, this course explores the determinants of national and regional competitiveness building from the perspective of firms, clusters, sub-national units, nations, and groups of neighbouring countries.</p>

It takes examples from both advanced and developing economies, and addresses competitiveness at multiple levels. Students who take this elective have access to the exclusive video lectures of Professor Porter.</p>

<h2><strong>Module Description</strong></h2>
<p>There are no average courses within our MBA programme. We are bound to provide an exceptional learning experience, and there is no better way to achieve this aim than with outstanding courses. They have been carefully crafted by experienced professors and are all meant to make you a more successful and efficient manager.</p>
<p>There are no old-fashioned exams. Instead you are given real-life case studies and essays, which allow you to think critically about your company and your own career. All this might seem too glossy but there is one catch: we do not accept average candidates. Only individuals as outstanding as our values can find their way toward admission at the Robert Kennedy College.</p>
<p><strong>Induction</strong></p>
<p><em>Not-for-credit module</em></p>
<p>A not-for-credit induction module will be the starting point of the programme. The induction process is designed to familiarise you with the programme design, requirements and resources, as well as with the way online interaction, learning and grading will take place. After the induction you should be familiar with academic life, including academic writing, library services and library access, OnlineCampus access, and academic support services.</p>
<p><strong>Organisational Behaviour</strong></p>
<p>The aims of this module are to provide an introduction to core concepts of the way people are managed in organisations. To that end it will offer opportunities for study by prospective as well as experienced managers, to consider the history and development of management thinking and theory, using modern ideas to assess and evaluate their own personal experiences of organisations and dynamics. The introduction to the module will act as bedrock upon which other managerial ideas and processes can be developed later in the course.</p>
<p><strong>Financial Management</strong></p>
<p>Balancing the books is just as important to governmental and non-governmental agencies as to companies, and there can only be sustainability with a proper knowledge of effective financial management. Oxford and Harvard Business School graduate Prof. David Duffill will expand and reinforce your knowledge of financial accounting, management accounts, budgeting and financing.</p>
<p>Once again, the course leader is not just crunching numbers. He will link each topic to real financial situations where you, as the manager in chief, have to assess the financial performance of successful corporations, and develop sharp analytical skills with various tools.</p>
<p>Financial Management is about successful financial results. At the end of this course you will not only know the basics, but you will be in the position to master every component of superior financial management and analysis.</p>
<p><strong>Information Management</strong></p>
<p>Cloud Computing, Linux and Open Source Software, Social Media. These are only a few of the new technological innovations and, at the same time, challenges presented to the managers of tomorrow. This module aims to enable you to develop a conceptual and comprehensive understanding of the manager's role in relation to the leading of the effective management and use of information, information technology, and information systems and to apply these within an organisational/strategic context.</p>
<p><strong>Public Health Management Policy</strong></p>
<p>This module aims to develop the required skills and knowledge base to develop a multifaceted skill set in health care professionals, allowing the micro economic factors, strategy and management issues to be applied to the daily work and development of health professionals.</p>
<p>In this module we will cover several topics like the consideration of different national and international politics to health, health care and public health, funding approaches. We will also analyse the constraints and trade-offs in developing and implementing national health strategies, health care financing , economic evaluation, the role of effective change management and technological development.</p>
<p><strong>Tackling Global-Local Challenges in Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability</strong></p>
<p>This unique module aims to provide learners with the opportunity to conceptualise ethics, responsibility and sustainability in diverse global settings. It allows students to develop an insight into the expanding role of sustainable development, corporate governance, responsible business practice and the ethical dimensions of organisational policies and practices.</p>
<p>University of Cumbria faculty members will guide you in the daily classes, enriched by contemporary case studies and teamwork in this innovative and unique topic.</p>
<p>There will be an option to take this as a residential at University of Cumbria in the UK.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Management</strong></p>
<p>Do you really think strategically? Is your strategy sustainable and well formulated? How would you implement your newly formulated strategy? As you start on this course, you might just discover that you didn't really know the answers to these questions. Not only will you learn about strategy formulation context, content, and its effective implementation, you will also be studying the latest business strategies from Harvard Business School case studies such as those of Facebook, Kellogg, and Google, as well as traditional analytical tools such as Porter's Five Forces model, which will serve as a platform for your endeavours at innovative thinking.</p>

In addition the module will develop your ability to select complementary approaches and/or techniques appropriate for a stated problem and apply them to resolve or improve the problem. The module seeks to extend your current cognitive and transferable skills applicable across the manager's role. These include self-appraisal, problem-solving, communication, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.</p>

<h2><strong>Module Description</strong></h2>
<p>There are no average courses within our MBA programme. We are bound to provide an exceptional learning experience, and there is no better way to achieve this aim than with outstanding courses. They have been carefully crafted by experienced professors and are all meant to make you a more successful and efficient manager.</p>
<p>There are no old-fashioned exams. Instead you are given real-life case studies and essays, which allow you to think critically about your company and your own career. All this might seem too glossy but there is one catch: we do not accept average candidates. Only individuals as outstanding as our values can find their way toward admission at the Robert Kennedy College.</p>
<p><strong>Induction</strong></p>
<p><em>Not-for-credit module</em></p>
<p>A not-for-credit induction module will be the starting point of the programme. The induction process is designed to familiarise you with the programme design, requirements and resources, as well as with the way online interaction, learning and grading will take place. After the induction you should be familiar with academic life, including academic writing, library services and library access, OnlineCampus access, and academic support services.</p>
<p><strong>Organisational Behaviour</strong></p>
<p>The aims of this module are to provide an introduction to core concepts of the way people are managed in organisations. To that end it will offer opportunities for study by prospective as well as experienced managers, to consider the history and development of management thinking and theory, using modern ideas to assess and evaluate their own personal experiences of organisations and dynamics. The introduction to the module will act as bedrock upon which other managerial ideas and processes can be developed later in the course.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing Management</strong></p>
<p>You will reinvent the airline business, redefine the boundaries of retailing, manage the sales of an online computer mega-store, and learn how to focus on your customer. Seems like a bold prediction but it is just the content of Marketing Management directed by a marketing specialist.</p>
<p>The teaching of market segmentation, environment, research, innovative sales systems, international marketing, and policy planning and implementation will make sure that your view of marketing will never be the same. A concrete marketing plan for your company or your own business will be your final assessment, providing you with flexibility and effective learning results, which you can assess and apply in no time.</p>
<p><strong>Financial Management</strong></p>
<p>Business is about profit, and there can only be sustainability with a proper knowledge of effective financial management. Oxford and Harvard Business School graduate Professor David Duffill will expand and reinforce your knowledge of financial accounting, management accounts, budgeting and financing.</p>
<p><strong>Tackling Global-Local Challenges in Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability</strong></p>
<p>This unique module aims to provide learners with the opportunity to conceptualise ethics, responsibility and sustainability in diverse global settings. It allows students to develop an insight into the expanding role of sustainable development, corporate governance, responsible business practice and the ethical dimensions of organisational policies and practices.</p>
<p>University of Cumbria faculty members will guide you in the daily classes, enriched by contemporary case studies and teamwork in this innovative and unique topic.</p>
<p>There will be an option to take this as a residential at University of Cumbria in the UK.</p>
<p><strong>Information Management</strong> <em>Elective module</em></p>
<p>Cloud Computing, Linux and Open Source Software, Social Media. These are only few of the new technological innovations and, at the same time, challenges presented to the managers of tomorrow.</p>
<p>This module aims to enable you to develop a conceptual and comprehensive understanding of the manager's role in relation to the leading of the effective management and use of information, information technology, and information systems and to apply these within an organisational/strategic context.</p>
<p><strong>Corporate Strategy and Competitiveness</strong> <em>Elective module</em></p>
<p>This course is based on materials developed by the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School. The Institute was founded by Professor Michael Porter, the Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at Harvard Business School and the leading authority on corporate strategy and competitiveness. At Robert Kennedy College this outstanding course is taught by Robert Kennedy College Deputy Dean and Harvard Business School MBA graduate Professor David Duffill.</p>
<p>The course explores tools developed by Professor Michael Porter, such as the Value Chain and Five Forces, and explores the determinants of national and regional competitiveness building from the perspective of firms, clusters, sub-national units, nations, and groups of neighbouring countries.</p>
<p>The course is concerned not only with government policy, but with the roles that firms, industry associations, universities, and other institutions play in competitiveness. It takes examples from both advanced and developing economies, and addresses competitiveness at multiple levels. Students who take this elective have access to the exclusive video lectures of Professor Porter.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Management</strong></p>
<p>Do you really think strategically? Is your strategy sustainable and well formulated? How would you implement your newly formulated strategy?</p>
<p>As you start on this course, you might just discover that you didn't really know the answers to these questions. Not only will you learn about strategy formulation context, content, and its effective implementation, you will also be studying the latest business strategies from Harvard Business School case studies like those of Facebook, Kellogg, and Google, as well as traditional analytical tools like Porter's Five Forces model, which will serve as a platform for your endeavours at innovative thinking.</p>

As you develop your interviewing skills, you will be encouraged to reflect on your own performance. You will use class-based performance management scenarios with fellow students to analyse real-world performance management scenarios and discuss different approaches to handling performance conversations. An important part of this module looks at a critical understanding of performance and performance management, including high performance work practices, and the boundary between motivation for performance and abuse.

<p><strong>DIGITAL MARKETING ANALYTICS AND STRATEGY</strong></p>

The module is assessed by a 5000 word case study analysis of a specified real life company where students are encouraged to undertake secondary research based on a country market of their choice to support their analysis.</p>
<p><strong>OFFLINE AND ONLINE CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR</strong></p>
<p>This module focuses on understanding Consumer Behaviour, both in Online and Offline (Brick-and-Mortar) settings.&nbsp;&nbsp;You will examine a range of relevant consumer behaviour theories and their implications for marketing managers in relation to understanding consumers. You will also enhance your understanding of contemporary issues that influence consumers and how these impact marketers in designing, implementing and evaluating marketing strategies. The module is assessed by a portfolio report as well as a&nbsp;&nbsp;group project, that will require of you to demonstrate your critical understanding of the concepts, theories and debates that inform consumer behaviour and their practical implications for marketers, policy makers and consumers themselves.</p>

<p>York St John University is a prestigious civic university with roots going back to the 1840s. York Diocesan Training School, for teacher education, opened in May 1841 with one pupil on the register: 16-year-old Edward Preston Cordukes. 1846 saw the foundation of the Female Training School which moved to Ripon in Yorkshire in 1862. The college in York was described as St John's College from the late 1890s.</p>
<p>By 1904 St John's was the largest Diocesan college in the country with 112 students (today it has almost 6,000 students).</p>
<p>After rapid development of its subject base and student number, the two institutions merged in 1974 to become the College of Ripon &amp; York St John. The University has also had a long and productive relationship with the University of Leeds dating back to 1920. In 1999 the College's Board of Governors decided to relocate all taught courses to the York campus and by the end of 2001 all students and staff had transferred across to York and a new name was chosen: York St John University.</p>
<p>In September 2005 York St John University was officially granted taught degree awarding powers. Following this, it received approval from the Privy Council of the United Kingdom to become a university and adopted the full title of York St John University on the 1st October 2006. This was followed by the installation of its first Chancellor, Archbishop Sentamu, in March 2007.</p>
<p>Today the University is based on an award-winning campus in the centre of the ancient city of York where its students study a broad range of subjects. It has a highly recognised reputation for its teaching and learning, and a wide network of regional, national, and international partnerships which now includes Robert Kennedy College.</p>

<h4><strong>Duration:</strong> Minimum 12 months, maximum 3 years.</h4>
<h4><strong>Delivery Method:</strong> 100% online via OnlineCampus (an interactive online learning environment) with intensive class discussion and collaboration.</h4>
<p>The York Business School MBA in Coaching, Mentoring and Leadership is designed to enable you to develop critically reflective coaching, mentoring and leadership skills that can be applied in a variety of settings. You will engage in and evaluate practical coaching and mentoring activities, explore and evaluate the potential impact of coaching and mentoring on individual and organisational performance and engage with the complex moral dimensions in coaching, mentoring and leadership. Both coaching and mentoring activity are strongly associated with management and leadership. There are tensions between the concepts of leadership and management, which are again explored throughout the programme. In some instances both coaching and mentoring may be employed to contribute to the development of leaders and managers. In others, coaching and mentoring may be employed as part of the leadership or management function.</p>
<p>This programme will create opportunities for you to develop through practice a range of coaching and mentoring skills and techniques, and enable the development of a critical understanding of issues related to the design and implementation of coaching and mentoring schemes. The programme is delivered in such a way that you are encouraged to utilise your professional and work based context as a resource in which to practice and develop your skills in coaching and mentoring. You will be supported throughout the programme to develop appropriate &lsquo;ground rules', both in the learning context and the professional / work based context and to explore ethical issues.</p>
<p>Much of the learning is developed through the establishment of collaborative learning communities of programme participants and tutors &ndash; and you will become part of that community of learning. Your understanding is developed around the key skills, processes and practices of coaching, mentoring and leadership. Solutions to real problems are suggested, discussed and analysed within the learning community with the support of tutors and fellow learners.</p>
<p>The programme is international in its design and engages with themes on an international basis. Many different cultural contexts are utilised to help provide the setting for discussions. On completion of the programme, you will be able to critically evaluate a range of theories and models relating to organisations, coaching, mentoring and leadership and apply these to real life situations in order to inform your decision making. The network that you will develop over the duration of the programme often continues to be a supportive and strong community of practice post-graduation.</p>
