This degree program at The University of Newcastle allows students to undertake studies in the more general business discipline of the Master of Business Administration while also studying the specific international business courses of the Master of International Business.

The Master of Business Administration program is designed to provide students with a range of analytic, strategic and leadership skills which will prepare them for increasingly competitive careers in business management in the corporate and public sectors. 

The program offers a grounding in fundamental business areas such as accounting, finance, organisational behaviour, economics, marketing and management. 

Analytic and problem-solving skills are emphasised through an applied understanding of the theoretical framework within which today’s managers must operate, as well as the acquisition of practical skills in teamwork, writing, presentation and time management. 

The ability to cope with rapid organisational and technological change is developed through an understanding of organisational behaviour, information systems and organisational change and development.

The program provides sound knowledge in the core business areas of marketing, finance, economics and human resource management. 

It expands on this knowledge in the context of international trade, government policy and regulations about global business operations.
