| Overview and Aims of the Program | This double degree enables students to learn the essentials of businesses functions in the increasingly globalised world. It also develops an understanding of the political, social, economic and legal processes and institutions of the international system to help students develop important international relations skills. The delivery is highly flexible, with many units of study available both as face-to-face lectures or seminars, and external offerings. The Master of International Relations component is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the political, social, economic and legal components and processes of the international system. There is an emphasis on understanding how these components and institutions operate in specific regions of the world. Eligible students have an opportunity to gain work experience through an internship in an approved institution and to credit this to their degree. The Master of International Business component provides the opportunity to acquire contemporary knowledge and skills in core business disciplines with an international focus. It provides graduates with the capabilities to become effective global professionals. |
