International Diploma (Business)

The International Diploma (Business) is a 3 trimester direct-entry pathway to the second year of the Bachelor of Business (BBus) degree. This Diploma is for international students who have completed the equivalent of 32 credits across 3 University Entrance approved subjects, but have not achieved the equivalence of New Zealand University Entrance. Combining the first year of the Bachelor of Business (see pages 36-37) with English language development and a comprehensive programme of academic support and development activities, the Diploma aims to prepare students for successful completion of the Bachelor of Business at the end of 3 years of study. Offered in partnership with the Waikato Pathways College (WPC), the Diploma combines the 7 papers required for the first year of the Bachelor of Business with an academic English paper. These 8 papers are augmented by a comprehensive suite of academic development and support activities designed to meet the learning needs of international students
