International Business is a rapidly growing field of study dealing with the development, strategy, and management of multinational enterprises. Business is becoming increasingly international and the most effective leaders and professionals of the future will be those who know how to deal with the problems of doing business and managing organisations in a complex and uncertain global business environment.

The School of Organisation and Management offers an International Business Honours program, designed for students seeking to deepen their analytical skills and research techniques. The Honours program may only be taken if the students have completed their pass degree with a major in International Business. The Honours program is also open to students who have completed a comparable pass degree at another University.

To satisfy the Honours requirements, students undertake an additional year of study, completing Honours level courses (both compulsory and elective) and undertaking a research thesis. Students must have completed the prerequisite courses prior to their Honours year.

Students must complete the requirements for a major in International Business. Students are highly encouraged to study MGMT3708 as a free option in the semester preceding the Honours year.

Research Thesis
The research thesis is worth 24 UOC, to be taken over both semesters. The final thesis should be in the range of 15,000-20,000 words (excluding appendices and bibliography).

**Students are highly encouraged to study MGMT3708 as a free option in the semester preceding the Honours year.

For admission to the Honours program the minimum requirement is an average of 70% for all MGMT subjects. If there are more applicants than the School can accommodate, admission will be determined according to students' academic merit.
Students will be notified once final marks for Semester 2 become available. Students are expected to begin their preliminary research over the summer vacation.
Unfortunately, because essential theory and methodology courses are only offered in Semester 1, it is not possible to have a mid-year intake of International Business Honours students.

The administration of the Honours application is through the Business Student Centre. Upon completion of first or second year of a full-time program or the corresponding stages of a part-time program, students may make a written application to Business Student Centre.
