Key Features

The purpose of a double Masters degree is to provide students with the option of completing two internationally focused degrees within one period of candidature. This double degree will interest those students who would like to extend their business skills in to the complimentary area of international relations.

The double Masters program provides an opportunity to acquire contemporary knowledge and skills in core business disciplines taking an international focus. The program promotes both depth and breadth in business studies through a program of core study in international accounting, finance, marketing and trade together with elective units chosen from a range of business disciplines including marketing and information technology. There is also an opportunity to take units in cross-cultural studies and international communications. 

Besides building career relevant skills in business disciplines, graduates will develop skills in innovative thinking, effective written and oral communication and team work.

Suitable For

The program is suited to a wide range of interests but is particularly relevant to those who plan a career in organisations that conduct business beyond a single domestic economy. For example, the Master of International Business (MIB)/Master of International Relations (MIR) is relevant for those planning careers with parent companies having foreign subsidiaries, export oriented firms and public sector bodies involved in cross-border commercial issues.

The double Masters program is suitable for recent graduates as it does not have a work experience requirement. The degree is also appropriate for graduates of some years standing seeking to move forward from domestic business into international business.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the MIB and MIR double degree may find careers in multinational companies, government agencies or global institutions.
