Why study business?
Are you thinking about studying Business? New Zealand’s leading Business School is a great choice to get your career off to the best start.
Business matters
Business is everywhere, from environmental groups, your favourite sneaker brand or the apps on your phone.
Business turns ideas into financial, social and environmental benefits that can improve the quality of life of individuals and entire societies. That’s why studying Business matters. By creating better models and processes, fits between people and tasks, and improving regulations and policies we can build a bridge to a better world.
Professor Susan Watson, Acting Dean of Business and Economics for 2020
