About this course

Overview

Different countries and cultures have different ways of doing business, and multinational businesses need skilled business professionals to monitor and manage their overseas business operations.

For a successful career in international business, you not only need advanced business skills, but also the cultural competency to adapt to working in different countries.

In this course you will develop high-level skills in management, problem-solving, planning, organising and managing change, with a global business approach.

You'll learn how to analyse international markets and business systems and how to navigate your way around international business environments. You'll also gain the communication skills that enable you to work in cross-cultural teams.

This course has a high practical component and includes industry-based projects and case studies. You also have the option of studying a cultural studies specialisation such as Asian Studies (which includes Chinese and Japanese languages), Korean Studies or Japanese Language.

The interdisciplinary nature of this course means you'll gain flexible skills that can be applied across many different areas, including logistics, marketing, sales, procurement, and finance.
