Combined Studies Management Diploma

Elsewhere on our website you will find details of our Diploma in International Business Management (DIBM) and our Diploma in International Marketing Management (DIMM). These specialist management diploma courses provide a management education to students wishing to focus on just one specialist subject area (Business or Marketing). For many students, such a diploma is the appropriate study package. However, some students need to gain a management education while focusing on both specialist subject areas. For such students, we therefore offer our Combined Studies Management Diploma programme - the Diploma in International Business & Marketing Management. This programme provides the same comprehensive management education that is provided on our specialist management diplomas, but also allows students to complete studies in more than one specialist subject area. On completing this diploma, students will therefore have a broader range of career options and enhanced career prospects, and will be fully prepared for multi-skilled management positions, either in large corporations or in small firms. This programme is also particularly popular with students whose ultimate objective is to establish their own business.

Student Focus

Cyril Trubert

"Before LCIBS, I completed a law degree, spent two years working in Africa, one year working in France, and travelled in the Far East and America. My experiences made me realise how many options there could be working for an international company, which is what led me to study on Combined Studies Management Diploma at LCIBS.
 
I started at the college full-time, but then got a job in London with the luxury brands group, LVMH, making it impossible for me to continue studying full-time. But LVMH were keen for me to finish my studies at LCIBS because the course was going to give me a variety of knowledge and skills. So fortunately I was able to change to part-time study, attending classes at the college a couple of days each week.
 
I have found the course very useful. At work, I have been able to apply things that I have learnt and have been able to look at problems from a variety of perspectives. Meeting students at LCIBS from other countries has also helped broaden my international outlook, which is important in my job as LVMH values employees who are culturally aware on an international level."
