New global
business degree
ticks all
the boxes
In February 2015, Monash University
launched a specialist degree, the
Bachelor of International Business, that
is taught at a new purpose-designed
city location – Monash 271 Collins
Street. This unique program is taught
in a trimester model enabling students
to complete a three-year degree
in just two years. The Bachelor of
International Business is the first
two-year, accelerated degree to be
offered at Monash University, and has
intakes in February, June and October.
The program is aimed at students who are interested
in experiencing the fast-paced environment of
global business. Students develop the academic
skills expected of a Monash business graduate,
but also gain practical business skills by choosing
a 12-week internship or experience international
life with a study-abroad option. The course also
offers small interactive classes that allow students
to express their opinions and develop skills that
will help them advance in the business world.
Bachelor of International Business program director
Errol Muir says: “Because the degree is taught in the
city, it means we can get more and more business
speakers to come to talk to students about how the
subjects they’re studying are applied in real-life.”
Current student Eugenie Wong says: “Hearing from
professionals helps me to see how what I am
studying works in the real world, and provides a link
between theory and practice.”
Akaash Kumar, a second-trimester student, explains:
“I like that studying the Bachelor of International
Business means I can finish my degree in just
two years and get ahead in my career. The city
location is incredible. It’s been easy to make friends,
and the lecturers are really supportive.”
