International Management MSc

King’s College London’s International Management MSc, at King’s Business School on the Strand campus in central London, is a one-year, English-taught Master in Management for early-career graduates of any discipline — a pre-experience degree that the school describes as “for students at the start of their career.”¹

Overview

King’s College London is a Russell Group research university in the heart of London, and its International Management MSc is a pre-experience programme aimed at graduates beginning their careers — with ambitions, as King’s puts it, in fields from finance and consultancy to healthcare and civic leadership.¹ It is a classic conversion-style MiM: no prior business degree or work experience is required, and the curriculum builds a broad, internationally-framed management foundation.¹ ³

The programme is a recent, strong arrival on the ranking tables: it entered the QS Business Master’s: Management 2026 ranking at #29, among the best-performing new entrants that year.¹

Curriculum & Structure

The first semester delivers the core: International Business Strategy, Accounting and Finance, Comparative Management and Governance, Crafting Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Sustainable Business, Leadership in Context, and Research Skills and Business Analytics.¹ The second semester combines elective modules with one of three applied project routes: a Business Research Project (a dissertation), a Business Consulting Project (competitive entry, on a real client brief), or a Business Experience Project built around a self-sourced internship.¹ That structure lets each student angle a generalist degree toward research, consulting or work experience — see our guide to choosing your MiM specialisation.

Application & Deadlines

Entry is a high 2:1 honours bachelor’s degree — an overall average of at least 65% — in any academic subject, plus King’s English language Band B (typically IELTS 7.0 overall with 6.5 in each component) or an accepted equivalent.³ The GMAT is not required: King’s notes a strong GMAT or GRE is optional and can strengthen an application, particularly for a lower GPA or a non-business background.³ King’s admits for an autumn intake and assesses competitive London programmes as applications arrive, so visa-needing candidates should apply early and confirm the current timeline on the school’s page.

Tuition & Funding

Tuition for 2026/27 entry is £35,950 for UK/home students and £40,450 for international students.² The international figure sits in the upper range for a UK one-year master’s, reflecting King’s Russell Group standing and central-London location; King’s lists scholarships worth up to 50% of tuition or £10,000 for full-time postgraduate study.¹ ² For how UK fees compare across the continent, see how much a MiM costs in Europe.

Career Outcomes

As an international-management conversion degree in one of the world’s major business and finance hubs, the programme feeds a broad range of first roles across finance, consulting, industry and the public and civic sectors.¹ King’s does not publish a single headline graduate salary for this cohort that we can verify, so we don’t quote one — confirm current destination and salary data on the school’s own page, and see the wider picture in our UK MiM career outcomes and UK MiM job market pieces, plus who recruits European MiM graduates.

Reputation

A Russell Group research university in central London, with an International Management MSc that entered the QS Business Master’s: Management 2026 at #29, makes King’s a credible, internationally-framed one-year MiM in a global business capital — with an applied second-semester project (research, consulting or internship) that adds practical experience to a generalist degree.¹ For the wider context, see whether a MiM is worth it in 2026, browse the MiM in the UK hub and the best MiM in the UK shortlist, and compare programmes across the full rankings.
