Master of International Business/Master of International Relations

The Master of International Business/Master of International Relations provides a unique opportunity for students to gain two postgraduate awards at Master's level over a two year period.

Students will diversify their knowledge and skills by studying across complementary discipline areas, graduating with a clear industry advantage. In particular, graduates will have an appreciation of the integration of strategies, business processes and systems within an evolving global context.

This program will appeal to those looking for an innovative, research-informed and practical program, designed to meet the changing needs of business, community and government enterprises. Graduates will be equipped with current knowledge and practical expertise, coupled with the ability to gain a critical appreciation of the role and practice of supply network management in local and global business.

With globalisation, many domestic areas of public policy have come to incorporate an international dimension. The priorities and agendas of domestic politics are increasingly shaped and contextualised by events, pressures and constraints at the regional and global levels. For postgraduate students of international relations, gaining an understanding of the world of business will equip them with the professional knowledge, analytical tools and organisational skills to significantly enhance their graduate outcomes, whether in government, international organisations or domestic/international non-government organisations. For international policy practitioners and AusAID scholarship recipients, the program will develop academic skills, professional capacities and knowledge in world affairs, while also teaching best practice in public policy environments.

This double degree program will equip graduates to analyse and make strategic decisions with an understanding of international business and international relations, in a rapidly expanding and dynamic global environment.
