This paper evaluates the use of role play activities in teaching International Business to graduate students. A previous survey completed by 49 students on the first International Business seminar in 2015 showed that there is a gap between the frequencies and usefulness of role play activities. This encouraged us to conduct this type of research which has the aim of exploring university students on applying role play activities. The questionnaire survey, which included open-ended sentences, involved 44 graduates and it justified the presence of role play activities attending International Business courses. Here are three of the most important reasons for using role play activities: the transmission of knowledge in a more effective way, this tye of knowledge can be conveyed in a different and more concise and understandable that may prove difficult another, attempting different roles and preparing for future situations and the entertainment it provides during lessons results in the activation of students. The survey has shed some light on the challenges which can be grouped into two categories: class management problems and students' attitude. All in all, role play activities have a justified role at an International Business course level, although not more than two or three can be applied during a term since they are time-consuming and other methods can be more effective for certain educational purposes.
