Tiffin University

What you'll study

The programme blends foundational business courses with specialised international business modules. You will study accounting, micro- and macro-economics, business law and statistics alongside international-focused subjects such as international marketing, global supply chain management, international finance, cross-cultural management and international trade policy. Coursework typically includes a strategic management capstone or practicum that integrates global case studies and team projects.

Modules and learning activities commonly encountered on the programme include:

• Core business foundations – principles of management, financial and managerial accounting, business statistics, and business law.
• International business core – international marketing, international finance and banking, global supply chain and logistics, and international trade policy.
• Cross-cultural and strategic skills – cross-cultural communication, negotiation, ethics and corporate social responsibility in an international context, and global strategic management.
• Analytical and digital skills – business analytics, spreadsheet modelling, and use of industry software for forecasting and trade analysis.
• Applied learning – internships, practicum or capstone projects that emphasise real-world problems, client-based projects and simulation exercises.
• Electives and language – opportunities to take electives in areas such as international entrepreneurship, export/import operations, and foreign language study to strengthen intercultural competence.

Entry requirements

Tiffin University seeks applicants who demonstrate a strong academic background and clear interest in international business. Typical entry criteria include a completed secondary school qualification or equivalent for first‑year entry; applicants transferring from other postsecondary institutions will be assessed on college-level transcripts. Admissions also consider personal statements, references and any relevant work or volunteer experience.

International applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through recognised tests or equivalent evidence of English-medium study. While specific GPA or test score thresholds vary by application cohort, applicants should present a competitive academic record and preparation in quantitative subjects such as maths or economics where possible. Mature and non‑traditional applicants with relevant work experience are also welcome to apply.

Career prospects

Graduates of the International Business programme are prepared for roles requiring global awareness, cross-cultural competence and practical business skills. Common career paths include positions in multinational corporations, export/import firms, logistics and supply chain companies, international marketing and sales, trade compliance, and international finance. Alumni also move into roles with consulting firms, government trade agencies, international development organisations and NGOs.

The programme’s emphasis on applied projects and internships helps students build a professional portfolio and employer connections. With further study or professional qualifications, graduates may progress into management, international business development, country or regional management roles, or specialist functions such as trade policy, customs compliance and global sourcing.
