Bachelor of
International Business
The Bachelor of International Business is a specialist degree designed for students
who want to progress quickly and fast track to their career.
The degree adopts a trimester model, which means there are three teaching periods
a year. This structure allows you to complete your degree in two years instead of
three. You will study in a new, custom-designed space in the centre of Melbourne’s
bustling business hub, gain an understanding of international business principles –
business operations, international relations, trade and investments, the effects of
politics and culture - and learn to apply your knowledge in a global business context.
“The small classes mean we get more
attention from the lecturers. We get
to ask a lot of questions during the
workshops which really motivates me
and enhances my learning. The degree
has a strong industry focus and has
a lot of guest speakers from industry.
Hearing from professionals helps me
to see how what I am studying works
in the real world, and provides a link
between theory and practice.”

the learning through strategies such as
discussions, debates and problem solving.
With small class sizes, you’ll be encouraged
to collaborate within a diverse community
of like-minded students. This intimate
learning environment means you’ll have
more opportunity to express your opinions
and develop interpersonal skills that will

relationships with teaching staff.

“As an international student, sometimes
I find it hard to follow traditional lectures.
However, with the flipped classroom
model the lessons are delivered online
and are easy to follow. Then I attend
workshops to deepen my understanding
of the concepts. The lecturers are willing
to take a close look at my work which
helps me develop. I really like the course
structure too because we study three
times per year, meaning I will finish in
two years. Also, studying in the city
is great, there’s a large variety of food
around and lots of amazing places to
hang out after class.”
