Postgraduate Diploma in Business
The Postgraduate Diploma in Business (PGDipBus) provides you with an advanced education in business. It consists of taught courses, though you may include a project in an area of interest.
If you have a degree (not necessarily in business) and would like to study business at a postgraduate level this qualification may suit you.
Flexible focus
If you undertake this postgraduate diploma, you may design an academic programme to meet your own needs and interests.
Multi-disciplinary
The Postgraduate Diploma in Business utilises Massey Business School's staff expertise across a broad range of subjects including:
- international business
- human resources
- enterprise development
- finance
- marketing.
If you complete the programme at a satisfactory level you may be able to proceed to the Master of Business Studies or the Master of Management. If so, credits you have gained through this postgraduate diploma may be credited towards that programme. This will depend on the courses you have chosen.
