Bachelor of Business (International Trade) - BBus(IntTrade)


General information

Course code: 0389 · Course coordinator: Mr Peter Schuwalow · Note that there may be some small variations to the course structures outlined below
This course is principally designed for students seeking a career in international business. The course is available in two sequences. Both sequences comprise a core of foundation business subjects (common to all Bachelor of Business degrees at Monash University), specialist studies in areas of relevance to international trade and three electives. The foreign business language sequence includes a minimum of one year of study in an approved foreign language related to international trade, such as Chinese, Japanese, German or Indonesian. The international business sequence includes an extended range of specialist international trade subjects. The BBus (IntTrade) offered at the Peninsula campus is a three-year full-time course or two-year accelerated course with subjects available during summer semester.

Credit for work done elsewhere

In addition to part one, section four of the degree regulations, the following credit transfer has been standardised for the Bachelor of Business (International Trade):

Mode of offering

Day classes are offered at the Peninsula campus for both the foreign business language sequence and the international business sequence.

Foreign business language sequence

Available only at the Peninsula campus, two language subjects must be taken as a sequence of study in an approved foreign language. Business Chinese (Mandarin) or business Japanese, Indonesian or German are recommended. However, students may choose another language relevant to international trade, with the approval of the course coordinator. Up to three further language subjects may be taken as electives. Students who enrol in the double degree Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business (International Trade) take seven subjects of languages as their arts major. The program assumes no prior knowledge of the language.
The languages focus on contemporary and business vocabulary and the languages will therefore complement the business subjects and enhance career prospects.
