On campus

Most courses are presented in regular 3-hour classes, together with some periods of intensive teaching during the evenings, or as full day or weekend sessions at the Melbourne City campus. The exact format varies from course to course.

Students may be required to undertake solo or group work, and independent study and project work outside of teaching periods.

Your classes will mostly be held at the RMIT's Swanston Academic Building where innovative learning spaces are interspersed with retail and social spaces resulting in a stimulating environment for business students.

Methods of assessment will vary between courses, as appropriate to learning objectives or outcomes. Assignments and projects may be based on case study scenarios, specific problems, real-world applications of theory in practice, business simulations and research. They may be undertaken in teams or individually. They will provide you with experience in writing reports and essays, research and reasoning, and oral presentations. Assignments and projects are also designed to provide you with feedback on your progress.

Through RMIT University’s online learning portal, myRMIT, you will be able to view online resources and learning activities created by lecturers, access course materials via Blackboard, collaborate with lecturers and fellow students, and access your student email account. Educational software, the Learning Hub, other online and digital resources and printers are accessible on campus via the RMIT wireless network using your own laptop, tablet or smart phone or via computer facilities on-campus.

It is expected that graduates will emerge with a broader approach to and critical mastery of the theory, methods and practices of contemporary international business.

Professionals in this field typically combine specialist knowledge with the skills and experience they hold in a particular aspect of business. For example, a graduate of this program with a background in engineering may seek out opportunities in manufacturing multinationals.

Graduates are encouraged to progress to the Master of International Business.
