Stream Outline
The School of 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.
