Postgraduate Diploma in Business

The aims of the Post Graduate Diploma in Business (Level 8) are: To take an interdisciplinary approach to study in the fields of international business studies within a single qualification, while retaining the core business disciplines of economics, marketing, project management, organizational behaviour, leadership, and accounting. This is a one-year, full-time programme of study designed for graduates of a first degree in a business-related subject. It is suited for those seeking to: a) bridge the gap between a first degree and a career in business, that requires further qualifications; and b) build a firm foundation for further study at postgraduate level in the business discipline.

ICL Business School was established in 2002 by Ewen Mackenzie-Bowie as part of Academic Colleges Group. In 2007, Ewen took over the business school and incorporated it with International College of Linguistics (ICL). Reflecting the Business School’s shift to predominantly level 7, 8 and 9 programmes it was rebranded to ICL Graduate Business School.

ICL Graduate Business School is a NZQA accredited Category 1 boutique university-level business school in New Zealand, offering Master’s degrees, postgraduate and graduate diplomas in business, informatics, hospitality and tourism, and a graduate diploma in teaching early childhood education, which leads to teacher registration. While over 80% of our students are postgraduate, we also offer undergraduate diplomas in business, with pathways to university degrees.

Our language schools, located in the same building, Auckland English Academy and Bridge International College, offer you pathway courses into ICL if you need to brush up your English before you start your degree or diploma.

ICL Graduate Business School is located at the heart of New Zealand’s biggest and most diverse city, Auckland. We strive to help our students meet their academic goals, and enjoy their time whilst studying and living abroad.
