This programme provides a thorough grounding in business and management practice appropriate for people
wishing to enter management roles in business. The qualification is designed as an exit point from the NZ
Diploma in Business for those students who wish to have a basic understanding of management practice but
do not wish to specialise in business studies. It also provides a platform for students wishing to transition to
degree programmes or advanced management qualifications such as the NZIM Diploma in Management
(Advanced).
Graduates will have knowledge and skills relating to general management, business communication, working
in groups, applied research and leadership. The areas of skill may relate to accounting, law, marketing,
economics or information technology.
After gaining relevant experience in the workforce, successful graduates are prepared for middle management
positions in various sectors of the tourism industry including transport operators, hotels, wholesalers, tour
operators and attraction operators.
Graduates may complete the NZ Diploma in Business. Degree-level study is a further option available to
graduates.
