Become a transformative manager
This Masters Degree integrates theory, applied activities, and research to provide highly specialised knowledge and critical awareness of business challenges. You will develop and apply new skills for independent research and personal development, strengthening your abilities in managing people and workplace processes.
Learn how to maximise your team's productivity, develop strategies to guide them through change, and specialise in managing social and organisational complexity. You will also enhance your techniques for monitoring performance and productivity, utilise current and future technologies to achieve business goals, acquire skills to gather and analyse business information and develop decision-making and communication skills to lead others effectively.
The programme offers up to 18 months of full-time study (or part-time over a longer period) with open entry for degree holders from all industries. You can study face-to-face on our Nelson campus and choose from different majors, subject to intake availability.
