Bachelor of Business (International Business)

This course offers a multidisciplinary approach to analysing the main issues and considerations in the growth and functioning of international businesses. It has a strong emphasis on trade and investment in an international context, and places significant emphasis on managerial issues and perspectives.

Business, Government and Law (BGL) are the primary institutions that shape our world. Graduates from BGL courses gain a unique insight into the interrelationships and dependencies between these three areas in the context of their specific field of study and the three BGL signature themes of enterprise and innovation, social value and responsibility, and sustainability.

You’ll develop skills and competencies in the understanding of business systems and the cross-cultural or supply chain issues affecting them from an international business perspective.

The program covers a range of subjects including globalisation; international trade; regional blocs and markets; free trade agreements; international dimensions of marketing, strategic management and e-business; and the geographical, cultural and institutional factors affecting business decisions and economic development. At the end of your degree, you’ll possess robust qualities which will stand you in good stead for a career in international business, whichever form that may take.
