Master of International Business and Entrepreneurship

The Master of International Business and Entrepreneurship is the first master of its kind in Australia to combine the interrelated disciplines of international business and entrepreneurship.

It’s the ideal degree if you’re looking to expand your horizons beyond domestic markets, whether you want to work for a multinational business, help a domestic business expand globally, or even establish a globally focused start-up of your own.

You will undertake independent study and team projects across a range of relevant subjects, giving you the knowledge, confidence and expertise you need to advance in international business and entrepreneurship.

You’ll learn first-hand about start-up companies that have begun as Curtin spin-offs and have subsequently become publicly listed corporations or been acquired by global innovators in their field.

Thanks to Curtin’s strong relationship with the innovation ecosphere, you’ll get opportunities to network with industry-leading entrepreneurs.

Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.
