Bachelor of International Business and Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of International Business and Bachelor of Arts at Monash University combines core knowledge in international business with the insights and skills offered by an arts education. Over four years, students engage with topics such as global trade practices, international marketing, and the socio-economic factors influencing business on a global scale, while also exploring various areas in the arts, such as literature, history, or communication. This dual approach enhances critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural understanding, skills highly valued in today’s global employment market.

The course is structured around a series of semesters, allowing for a steady progression through units of study which are assessed for credit points. Students will also engage in a capstone project in their final year, which synthesises their learning and enables them to demonstrate their expertise in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, work-integrated learning opportunities are embedded within the course, giving students hands-on experience in the international business sector.

Throughout the programme, students develop a range of skills including analytical thinking, effective communication, and cross-cultural negotiation, preparing them for diverse roles in an interconnected world. This course is ideal for those who wish to combine a passion for global affairs with a liberal arts perspective, catering to students who thrive in dynamic and multicultural environments.
