International business (1 Viewer)

hey, anyone do international business?? i was just wondering what it's like. which uni's offer it?? all i know is that UTS has it.

 

[santaslayer]

Most Universities offer International Business. Unis that don't offer it include:

ACU
AMC
La Trobe
UMQ
UC
USYD (I thought they offered it, but can't seem to find it)

MQ does offer International Biz:

I don't study B.Bus, but a friend that is in 2nd yr who does and was planning to double major in Marketing and International Bus. has changed his mind about the Int. Bus. He did a few subjects and said it was prety bland despite the very exciting description of it in the course guide.

Instead he's just going to pick a minor and stick with his Marketing major.

I am doing either International Business or "Money, Banking, Trade and Finance" as a major, I am not sure which one yet though. That is at Newcastle University, they do not offer it as a straight out degree though, only as a major.

I'm doing an Int. Business major,
its pretty interesting, but not very challenging (I guess due to a lot of international students..)
It's good, but not very practical, its more "general business knowledge" rather than say, skills you gain doing accounting or finance

I have decided to do International Business over "Money, Banking, Trade and Finance" because the latter seems to be too theoretical and too strongly related to economics (it is an economics major after all), and because it is quite similar to the other major I want to do, "Business Finance".

Club MaC still does offer BBA (International Studies), the '04 UAI cutoff was 98.75.

Its basically the same as the normal BBA, xcept u get to go overseas as part of ur degree, thats y the UAI is so much higher.

The UAI was so high because there weren't that many places availible at all, from what Ive been told

Well obviously then, High demand + Lack of places = High UAI

So basically at MQ, its either International Business @ 90.00 or BBA (Int. Studies) @ 98.75

hey! but i thought it's like 96.00 at UTS for B Arts International business or something like that....is that the same thing??

UTS has double majors in B. Arts in International Studies....

as far as i know, you can combine it with any other degree. its not a international business degree in itself, but you could major in international business under their B. Business degrees...
