What will I learn?

If you’re an aspiring business leader looking to advance your business or academic career, then the Master of Business could be for you. Offered by the Otago Business School – New Zealand's top research business school – this programme will equip you with the practical skills and real-world experience to tackle business challenges. You’ll be taught by experienced academic staff who are leaders in their fields and have strong ties with industry partners, providing opportunities for internships, networking, and career advancement. With three different study paths available, and the option to specialise in various subjects, the Master of Business allows you to tailor your studies to meet your specific career goals. You can complete your degree by either undertaking an independent study (project or dissertation) alongside taught papers, or enrolling in a series of taught papers (coursework only). The project and coursework options are ideal if you’re seeking to advance your professional career, while the dissertation option serves as a qualification for entry into doctoral-level study. The standard admission requirement is a bachelor’s degree with a minimum grade of B (Otago equivalent), though some subjects (Accounting and Finance, Economics, Finance, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics) require more specific backgrounds.
