International Business
Studying international business at La Trobe University
The internationalisation and globalisation of business today makes it appealing and even necessary to study business operations within an international setting. Globalisation has meant that all business firms are exposed to fluctuations in international markets. Even purely domestic firms are not immune from the effects of foreign competition and other international factors such as variations in exchange rates.
The Bachelor of International Business
The Bachelor of International Business allows undergraduate students to gain knowledge of the international economic environment in which businesses operate, as well as skills in international finance, management and marketing. Such knowledge and skills are in high demand by any organisation operating in, or affected by, international business conditions.
Globalisation is the central feature of modern economic life and no business today, small or large, can ignore issues posed by international developments. The course aims to provide students with an overall perspective of the international business environment, develop the skills that help them understand how businesses operate in that environment, and be able to plan and manage business operations in the globalised economy.
Career opportunities
A graduate with a Bachelor of International Business is qualified for a position in any organisation that operates in international arenas. This could be a multinational company, a government department, a financial institution or an import/export business.
Graduates are able to evaluate and advise on policy decisions, which are affected by changing international conditions, such as: exchange rate variations, government trade policy, or decisions by multinationals that have ramifications for both the local and global business climate.
