Course overview

Macquarie University’s Master of International Business and Master of Marketing prepares you to connect global commercial strategy with a deeper understanding of markets, customers and brands. Combining two complementary disciplines, the double degree supports professionals seeking to shape marketing decisions within multinational, cross-cultural and internationally focused organisations.

You will explore international finance, trade, supply chains, business strategy and cultural diversity alongside applied marketing research, consumer behaviour and strategic marketing management. A choice of Advertising and Branding, Digital Marketing or Strategic Marketing allows you to align your studies with your professional interests. An international business project supports the application of your learning to contemporary organisational challenges, while Macquarie also promotes access to networking and supervised workplace internship opportunities.

Delivered in person at Macquarie University’s North Ryde campus, the double degree can be completed in two years of full-time study or the equivalent part-time. You will graduate with two qualifications and capabilities relevant to global marketing, brand management, market analysis, consulting, international trade and commercial strategy. The Master of Marketing component is accredited by the Australian Marketing Institute, and Macquarie Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
