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.
