Bachelor of Applied Management (Business Management)

Summary

Business management crosses every industry, with skilled employees required in the management of any organisation.

The Bachelor of Applied Management covers principles of management alongside applied assignments, which take your learning into the real world.

This course is offered with a flexible combination of online workshops and on-campus tutorials so you can plan your studies around work and other commitments. Also, if you've already completed the New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5), you can finish this degree in two years.
