Doctor of Philosophy - International Business

It’s an opportunity to make new discoveries, address some of the big issues of our time, challenge yourself, and develop a mix of transferable and specialised skills. Give your career an edge with a postgraduate qualification in the dynamics of global business and export management. You'll deepen your understanding of the process of international business—how businesses invest, engage and trade across borders. You can tailor your studies to your own interests and career goals.
