College of Business and Economics


Welcome to the College of Business and Economics

We are justifiably proud of our postgraduate programme, with its strong emphasis on research-based teaching that produces graduates capable of pursuing advanced research around the world.

Our postgraduate students benefit from good supervision ratios, a focus on quality research, and facilities such as office space and access to the best library holdings of academic journals of all the New Zealand universities.

The College’s reputation outside academia is reflected in the number of scholarships available for commerce students and there are also opportunities to become involved in teaching.

Furthermore, our well-established MBA programme is renowned as a platform for graduates capable of making significant contributions to the world of business and commerce. The programme benefits from the College’s strong external links and contributions from industry representatives, and is accredited by the prestigious Association of MBAs.

Postgraduate study represents a high level of academic achievement which is becoming more and more necessary in the competitive business environment where students need to differentiate themselves from their peers. I encourage you to take up the challenge that postgraduate study in the College of Business and Economics offers you.
