Overview

The Master of Global Business is a multi-disciplinary program that advances your knowledge of business and the global environment in which it operates. This Master’s program provides you not only with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic economic, political and social forces that affect and impact upon global business, but also with the skill set required to function and operate in a global environment.

The Master of Global Business is designed to build upon your work experience and your undergraduate credentials by further developing and strengthening your business skills and acumen. This program advances your ability to address the global issues and challenges faced by business and society by improving your ability to critically analyse, problem solve and develop solutions. These skills are further enhanced and developed through an appreciation of the global context in which business operates and how it deals with issues of a geo-political nature, business-government relations, trade and its governance, global supply chain, sustainability, social responsibility and intercultural communication. If you are interested in further research within this domain, the Master of Global Business can also provide a pathway into a higher degree by research.

The Master of Global Business, ultimately looks to produce graduates with a comprehensive and multi-disciplined perspective of global business, that enables them to not only better understand the contemporary global environment in which business operates but just as importantly create and produce innovative solutions for the business, professional, social and public policy communities which they serve.
