- Program Outline
The Master of International Trade and Development aims to instil the ability to think and act strategically about international trade and development issues.
Whether studying corporate finance, marketing strategies, applied economics or international law, today’s globalised environment requires an understanding of how work will be impacted by bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, international trade disputes and non-economic societal influences on international markets.
This program is designed to give graduates an extra competitive edge by providing them with an interactive case-study based background in how business and government interact in trade negotiations, leveraging commercial opportunities arising out of 'third wave' trade agreements, and practical legal and commercial aspects of export marketing. The program aims to provide students with a practical understanding of current international trade and investment issues, the political dynamics of the negotiating environment and the opportunities and challenges presented to businesses by the globalised economy.
Students will leave the program equipped to put their newly gained knowledge into practice in their workplace with a practically-orientated understanding of global, regional and national trade, investment and development issues. Students undertake 36 units of Trade, Economics and Law courses taught Summer Semester, Semester 1, Winter Semester and Semester 2.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: The MITD program is a 36 unit program taught over 1 year (as we teach in summer and winter school). The price quoted on this site is for the standard 24 units per annum program load.
- Program Structure
