How to manage an international office 

Why join this course

Join this course to get the insights and skills to become an effective manager and leader of an international office. Along the way, you’ll participate in solution-oriented discussions, benefit from peer consultancy and pick up practical management tools to use in your work going forward.  

Through a deep dive of collaborative exercises, applied casework and real‑world problem‑solving, you’ll build the confidence and competencies needed to lead your team effectively and navigate the unique challenges of international education. You’ll leave with practical tools, clearer direction and a supportive community of peers.  

What you'll learn

We will start by reviewing the context in which international offices operate, focusing specifically on strategy development, organisational models and increasing your influence. We’ll then delve into crucial management issues that cause the most concern: leadership, communication, and time management.   

Who is it for?

The course is the perfect fit for those who have recently taken up a management position in an international office or similar organisational unit and those who are planning to do so in the future. More experienced managers will also benefit from the focus on specific management issues.
