The MBA degree is an interdisciplinary degree that provides students with an opportunity to study the operational intricacies of businesses as well as the important aspects of leadership and management. The impact of domestic and international environments on businesses as well as a broad overview of business functionality are also studied. Course participants have the opportunity to apply theoretical learning to case studies within sample organisations as well as their own organisation. An MBA provides course participants with an opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills in all areas of business activity. It provides an opportunity to develop a theoretical knowledge base of leadership, management and, to some extent, practical application.
Students develop a knowledge and skill base in a broad range of areas underpinning businesses.
Participation in an MBA programme will also provide opportunities to extend your networks by working with fellow students on case studies, projects as well as through broader business links with experienced senior executives. An MBA is not a one stop shop to career advancement. It will equip you with a library of knowledge and skills but it is how you apply these in the work environment that will lead to developments in your career. Employers are interested in how you can add value to their business. If you fulfil the admission requirements , apply and gain acceptance to one of the business schools within New Zealand or internationally to become a student and complete the course requirements.
