Study UNSW’s Master of International Business to become a future business leader. In this postgraduate degree, you’ll gain the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to operate both successfully and ethically within complex global contexts.
You’ll boost your career opportunities with the choice of a specialisation in either International Marketing, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, International Human Resource Management or Societal Impact. UNSW’s Master of International Business is the only Australian postgraduate degree offering a specialisation in International Business, earning you the qualifications to lead multinational businesses.
As the impact of business grows, you’ll need to make decisions beyond the business landscape – leaders in international business will need to drive business success, while increasingly creating positive impact across natural environments and social justice. In this degree, you’ll develop your global awareness of sociocultural, economic, technological and political differences, while learning to both embrace and leverage this diversity to drive positive impact for all.
Practical and contemporary
You’ll develop broad practical skills that can be applied to contemporary contexts across the world when you graduate. As a UNSW Business School student, you’ll have access to Career Accelerator – a portfolio of work experience, professional development and global project opportunities.
Global work experience
Benefit from hands-on, work integrated learning experiences such as the International Business Consulting Practicum or Global Business Practicum – a two-week international consulting opportunity with company hosts.
