Business Administration Programs
Master of International Business (LMIB)
The emphasis of this course is on the interdisciplinary overview of issues related to international business influencing and shaping the current and rapidly changing global economy. Students will be provided with an education in the essential techniques of international business management, keeping a balance between academic rigour and exposure to a wide range of practical experiences in the various aspects of international management.
Encompassing the entire spectrum of international business, the program has been designed to provide a basis for understanding the global business environment and the role of the manager in it. The course is particularly suited to those seeking a career with organisations that operate in the global economy. This could include export/import companies, public sector areas involved in international trade, and conglomerates with subsidiaries reaching around the globe.
Work experience is not a requirement for the course so it is open to new graduates. It is also suitable for graduates already in the workforce but who are seeking to move from the domestic business sector into the international business environment. Students have the opportunity to choose elective subjects offered as part of the course or from other areas of the University. The subjects are designed to explore the macro to micro environment of international business, with an analysis of the functional strategies of multinational corporations in areas including marketing, management, finance, and human resource management.
