MSc Global Management: Grow from Zagreb, Croatia

Build an international outlook without leaving the life you have built in Zagreb. The MSc Global Management, offered online through the exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, gives you the opportunity to develop management knowledge while continuing to live and work in Croatia.

Whether you hope to take on broader responsibilities, move into an international role or bring fresh thinking to your organisation, the programme’s management theory can help you approach challenges across borders and industries.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

Graduating with a British degree from the University of Salford can add an internationally recognised qualification to your professional profile. It offers a clear way to demonstrate advanced study in global management to employers and colleagues beyond Croatia.

For professionals in Zagreb whose ambitions extend across markets, a degree with international recognition can support conversations about career progression and new opportunities. You can pursue that academic goal while remaining connected to your work, family and community.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year

The programme can be completed entirely online, with a possible completion time of as little as one year. You can work towards a substantial academic achievement without relocating or making a regular journey to campus.

That flexibility can make postgraduate study more practical alongside an established career in Zagreb. Your time and energy can go into learning and applying new ideas rather than arranging a move abroad.

Study without fixed online attendance times

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates to take part in the programme. Instead, you can plan your studies around the hours that work for you, whether that means an early morning, an evening or a quieter point in the week.

This flexibility is especially valuable when work deadlines, family commitments or changing schedules make fixed classes difficult. It gives you room to maintain a consistent study routine on your own terms.

Take your learning wherever you go

Study from Zagreb, elsewhere in Croatia or anywhere your plans take you. The online format allows your education to travel with you, so a business trip or time away from home need not bring your progress to a halt.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means you can make use of a train journey, a flight or another convenient moment, even when a reliable internet connection is unavailable.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you an opportunity to engage with course materials as you develop and communicate your thinking.

For aspiring global managers, the ability to interpret information and build a reasoned response is an important skill. Open-book assessment encourages you to focus on understanding concepts and considering how they can inform decisions.

Learn with internationally educated tutors and faculty

Your learning is supported by tutors and faculty whose academic backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied educational experiences contribute to an international learning environment.

Engaging with different perspectives can help you question assumptions and examine management challenges from more than one angle. It is a valuable way to develop the breadth of thinking needed when working across cultures and markets.

Join a truly international student community

With students from over 130 countries, the learning community brings together people with a wide range of professional and cultural experiences. Discussions with peers can introduce you to approaches and viewpoints beyond those you encounter in your day-to-day work.

Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, Dell, CK Hutchison, ICBC Bank, HSBC, Santander, Westpac, Disney, Orange, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths illustrate the breadth of organisations in which graduates have built careers.

While every career journey is individual, studying alongside an international cohort can help you build connections and confidence for work in a global environment.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan postgraduate study alongside your existing commitments.

With a clearer view of your monthly payments, you can focus on choosing a study schedule that works for your life in Zagreb and on making the most of the learning ahead.

Put global management thinking to work from Zagreb

Zagreb’s technology and digital services businesses often work with clients, teams and suppliers across borders. For graduates in these fields, a stronger grasp of global management can support collaboration, organisational change and decisions about growth in different markets.

The city is also home to activity in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and related services, where organisations must coordinate complex operations and respond to international competition. Management theory that can be applied internationally may help graduates bring a broader perspective to planning, teamwork and strategic decisions.

In tourism, hospitality, logistics and financial services, Zagreb-based professionals may likewise work with customers and partners from many countries. The programme offers an opportunity to develop a global perspective while staying rooted in Croatia—and to consider where that perspective could take you next.
