Summary
Gain a business degree based in real-world knowledge. As organisations are constantly changing, real-life learning is more relevant than ever.
This programme has industry experiences at its centre with case studies and workplace-based or focused assignments. The practical learning doesn’t stop there as you’ll also complete an internship during your third year. This internship will place you within a real-world business where you’ll need to complete a research project as part of your time with the organisation.
Through this hands-on learning experience, you’ll develop the understanding and skills to work in a range of management environments at operational and strategic levels – not to mention the great industry and business connections you’ll also make!
At our Dunedin Campus, you can either create a personalised degree by choosing from a range of elective options or choose to fully-focus on an area that interests you most such as Human Resources, Event Management or Sales and Marketing. New elective papers include Contemporary Communication, and Design Thinking. Our Auckland International Campus offers papers in areas such as Entrepreneurship, Consumer Behaviour and Leadership in Action. Both campuses embrace our commitment to sustainability with a sustainability perspective embedded across all courses. Apply now and become a work-ready and future-ready business professional ready to take on the world!
