科廷科技大學(xué)

Multinational businesses need talented and culturally sensitive individuals to look after their interests overseas.

To successfully work in international business, you must have an appreciation of a country’s culture and business practices, as well as extensive business knowledge.

This major gives an international focus to your business career. You’ll learn to analyse international markets and business systems, navigate your way around international business environments and develop the competencies you need to work in a cross-cultural team.

Much of the study is practical, focusing on current issues and cases. This helps you develop high-level skills in management, problem solving, planning, organising and managing change and prepares you for working in a global environment. This major provides the flexibility to learn a language and undertake cultural studies.

Professional recognition

You may be eligible for membership of the Australian Institute of Management.
