Overview

Step onto a world stage as you learn to understand today's dynamic and complex business environment when you study business and international studies at UOW. You will learn business fundamentals as you examine the relationships of politics, society, language, and history in a range of countries as you explore the way global forces and interactions increasingly influence domestic politics.

Enhancing your educational, academic and professional qualifications, double degrees allow you to gain two degrees at once, minimising both the time commitment and the cost of your studies. They also make you a more competitive candidate in a cluttered job market.

What are the current national and global issues and how are they connected? What does the future of business look like? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you become a future leader with a global mindset.

You'll benefit from our expertise in international relations, our involvement in issues of global development and sustainability, and our focus on global media and communications. You will learn core fundamentals in the first year of your degree before deciding which major disciplines and minor language to focus on from the second year.

You will take part in a model United Nations and can choose from a range of electives covering issues from war and peace to international law and the global political economy.

Throughout this degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections through optional internships and work integrated learning, and have the opportunity to study abroad where you'll develop your cross-cultural business understanding.
