What will I study?
Overview
This course aims to provide you with wide ranging skills that will enhance your effectiveness as a manager working in international business. It provides a solid grounding in strategic thinking, relative to international and global market operations, and an understanding of how operating across borders impacts on functional areas (such as marketing, accounting, finance and HRM). This course should also develop an awareness of the policies governing the world trade and investment system, from the perspectives of a sovereign country, a regional trade bloc and a supra-national institutional (such as the IMF, World Bank and WTO). The course emphasises the Asia-Pacific region and pursues a cross disciplinary approach to analysing and solving complex problems.
You are also able to choose up to three electives from the Master of International Relations in the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences or from within Melbourne Business School’s other early career Master’s programs. These electives are subject to receiving approval from the program director as well as the relevant subject coordinator.
