Bachelor of Business (BBus)
Our three-year Bachelor of Business will equip you with the flexible skills needed to work in today’s small to large enterprises, using your expertise to help them thrive, grow and succeed in the 21st century.
This degree is focused on developing New Zealand's business innovators and entrepreneurs of the future. Get set to take on highly skilled roles across a diverse range of industries – from agribusiness and logistics to tourism, professional services, and the government.
In the first year, you’ll get a grounding in all the core areas of business, from accounting, economics, and finance through to digital business, marketing, strategy and supply chain management.
Discover which career pathways you’re most passionate about, before specializing in up to two major subjects later on.
The Bachelor of Business will prepare you to play a crucial part in helping organizations run their operations in a responsible way, adapt to the needs of changing markets, and drive innovation processes to develop cutting-edge products or services.
You'll gain valuable insights into why companies need to be agile to survive in today's 24/7 global marketplace, and how to use the latest digital technologies to make an organization more profitable and efficient.
With the Bachelor of Business, you’ll develop the bold and curious mindset that today’s employers are looking for, with a good mix of analytical, financial, decision-making, teamwork, project management, and communication skills.
