London’s Imperial College Business School is launching a new MSc in Economics and Strategy for Business. The program will be launched in 2012 and is designed for business graduates who want to understand and apply strategic economic thinking to the modern firm or organisation.
The program’s approach will emphasise the application of theory to the realities facing managers. It will offer modules on innovation, globalisation, and digital and energy economics. Dr Anjali Bakhru, the Program Director, said: “This unique combination of strategy and economics provides a valuable platform for recent graduates to consider and pursue a more generalist path in business over the course of their careers.”
There's a growing need for analytical thinking with a strategic focus in management consultancy, policy analysis, the financial services and big corporates. The program spans both economics and strategy: “Students will be exposed to a broad range of economic and strategic thinking from corporate governance and financial risk, to energy economics, strategy innovation and implementation.”
The ultimate goal of the new MSc is to ensure that students develop, “An analytical toolkit which can be effectively applied to a wide variety of situations.”

Academic Modules and Environment
The program at Imperial College Business School is exceptionally informative and beneficial for students. Each session is not only engaging but also inspiring, fostering a dynamic learning environment.

We have several classes each week, and the structure includes a mix of group and individual assessments. This approach not only enhances our understanding but also encourages collaboration and critical thinking among peers.
