This programme equips you with the core international business competencies that are necessary to tackle the challenges of an increasingly globalised world. The key goal of the DIB course is to groom you to be a global talent - one who is culturally intelligent, multi-lingual, and ready to lead.

The course provides students with the full repertoire of knowledge and skills required to conduct business or manage companies in today's ever-changing global business environment. Armed with this competitive advantage, students of international business thrive on the challenge of dealing with the myriad economic, political, legal and social systems that define the international business environment. DIB’s purpose-built business home, iBall, offers an innovative learning space for the exclusive use of DIB students to experience the high-pressure environment of a corporate “war room”. By constantly monitoring unfolding global developments in the iBall and by using the decision-making tools available within it to appreciate geographical implications, the students are able to deliver top-notch projects to fulfil the challenging requirements of an innovative integrated learning approach. Furthermore, subsidised overseas study tours to destinations such as India, China, and Vietnam help students to gain first-hand knowledge about countries around the world and develop a network of alliances that will help them in their future career in the international business arena.
