Master of International Business and Master of International Relations

Generic programmes and qualifications

The Master of International Business will equip you with the capabilities to respond to emerging global trends, the cross-cultural expertise to navigate complex multinational operations, and the strategic insight to drive value across diverse markets – all essential for success in fast-changing global environments. Drawing on the expertise of research-active professors and industry guest lecturers, you’ll enrich your understanding of real-world challenges and solutions, positioning you for roles in import management, international marketing, global consulting, joint venture project management, international franchising and policy advisory positions, to name a few. The industry-focused Master of International Relations explores this framework in depth by examining how international debates inform policy decisions, institutional responses and cross-border dynamics. The degree integrates political and IR theory with applied perspectives on technology, security, migration, international political economy and environmental politics, enabling you to engage with the full spectrum of contemporary global issues. Deep links with government, NGOs, internationally oriented banks, think tanks and global organisations offer sustained exposure to professional practice and strong employment opportunities, while on-campus and online study options add valuable flexibility.
