Skills in international business are essential for the new generation of managers in today’s global marketplace.
As a modern manager, you must understand the problems and opportunities created by cross-border activities. Your role requires you to draw on numerous disciplines that inform the strategies, structures and processes within organisations, their locations, and the motivations and behaviours of their employees. As an international business student, you'll examine issues pertinent to global business, such as cross-cultural management, international supply chains, and globalisation and the world economy. You'll also gain advanced skills in building and managing an international enterprise, and learn how to develop mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers, service agents and partners.

The best things about my program are the professors. They have enriched my time at UQ providing mentoring outside of class as well as mentoring within the course material.
The professors, students and tutors encourage us to actually believe in our ideas, to try them and learn from them. Yes, you might fail, but failure is an opportunity to learn and grow.
