NMIT's Associate Degree in International Business is designed to provide both academic knowledge and high level vocational skills to meet the needs of both local and multinational organisations and the broader business community. The Associate Degree in International Business was developed in consultation with industry, government agencies, professional bodies and universities to meet the growing demand for graduates skilled in international business and trade. The qualification can also be used as a pathway for further education and training at undergraduate or postgraduate levels.

The Associate Degree in International Business will provide participants with knowledge and skills in a number of areas relevant to all businesses. The course includes the study of general business topics such as law, economics, accounting and finance, statistics, e-business, marketing and management, as well as specialist topics in the areas of international business and trade, cross cultural communication, international business law, supply chain management, and international trade conventions and agreements. Professional practice is included in the course to meet the demands of employers for graduates who have relevant work experience and who are therefore 'work ready'.

Assessment Methods
The method of assessment may include a combination of examinations, assignments, tests, group and individual reports and projects, essays, practical tasks, literature reviews, journals, presentations, interviews, case studies and class participation.
