What’s it like to study International Business at Murdoch

To hear first-hand where an International Business degree could possibly take you in the future, we talked to Michelle Draper, Murdoch international business graduate and WA State Manager of Oporto. Michelle has been able to use her degree to analyse which international markets present an opportunity for Oporto as they continue to grow.

“One of the really important skills I have learnt throughout my degree is the importance of understanding local culture when taking businesses into new markets.”
