We sit on the edge of the dynamic region, sharing a unique social, political, economic and environmental interdependence.

This interdependence opens up endless possibilities for adventurous individuals like you who want to live and work in countries like China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, India or East Timor.

Take advantage of our strong Japanese and Indonesian connections

Our lecturers have travelled, lived and researched extensively across the Asian region. And with particularly strong academic and institutional ties with Japan and Indonesia, you will be able to take advantage of a range of fantastic opportunities to study overseas - not to mention links to great job prospects after graduation.

Boost your marketability with a double major. Why not combine your Asian Studies major with another such as Law, Business, Journalism, Education, Tourism, Politics or International Studies, to give you that extra edge?

You could also add a language such as Japanese or Indonesian. But if languages really interest you, make sure you also look at the Indonesian or Japanese majors, as they provides opportunity for a one-year overseas placement to help you really cement those skills.

Today's businesses face unprecedented challenges and opportunities in a rapidly changing global marketplace, and the global economy has a major impact on our daily lives. The products we use, the financial transactions we undertake, and our jobs are all subject to international business decisions. Understanding these impacts allows us to operate more effectively in society and in business.

The International Business major equips you with the skills and knowledge necessary to confront the challenges of an increasingly volatile global economy. You'll examine both theoretical and practical aspects of international business activities through extensive use of real life examples and case studies.

The International Business programme within the College of Business offers an innovative outlook alongside a comprehensive range of papers. Together with a focus on the global environment's impact on the functional areas of international business, the programme considers areas such as cross-cultural management, international business strategy, the political economy of international business, regional economic integration, and contemporary issues relevant to the study of international business. The programme has a strong focus on the Asia-Pacific business environment and its impact on Australasian business organisations.

As part of New Zealand’s largest business school, Massey’s International Business programme benefits from being located within a business management teaching environment. The programme is closely linked to other discipline areas, such as management, small business and entrepreneurship, human resource management, economics, finance, business information systems, and marketing. Students can also draw from Massey’s range of European and Asian languages and cross-cultural studies.

Entry Requirements

There are no special entry requirements for the International Business programme beyond those that qualify you for study at the University. In order to widen your choice of papers, or to fit in with your other commitments, you may opt for a mix of internal and extramural papers.
