Study Options

Students can graduate from the Graduate Diploma one year of successful full-time study with Massey University, and the Master's Degree after a further 1.5 years (3 years + 1 year + 1.5 years).

New Zealand Qualification

The Graduate Diploma in Business Studies is useful if you wish to keep up with professional developments in your field and are short of time. Or you may have found yourself working in a different field of business to that in which you hold a qualification.
The Graduate Diploma in Business Studies enables you to study another subject without completing a second bachelor’s degree. This is an undergraduate diploma, designed for those who do not have a degree in the subject you wish to pursue. You need to be a university graduate to enrol in this programme. It is a bridging tool to gain the equivalent of an undergraduate major in a specific area so you can go on to postgraduate study.

Massey University’s Master of Finance is a detailed, specialised degree. It will give you the skills and knowledge to move to a higher level of seniority in your career.

Your study will focus on finance, but help you put this specialty into the context of other business disciplines. This qualification has a focus on real-world learning – you can utilise our relationships with industry to draw on your own work experience. You will also learn the application of techniques in environments like our Trading Room – the only one of its kind in a New Zealand university. You will be taught by some of New Zealand's leading finance practitioners and will learn how to apply high-level in-depth research in the workplace. The Master of Finance will also help develop your oral and written communication skills to the level expected of senior business leaders.

Massey University conducts an internationally recognised research programme in economics, finance, banking and property. We are also involved in or lead several renowned finance-related research centres.
