Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Management (Business Management)

Otago Polytechnic

Management occupations are projected to grow rapidly over the next ten years leading to an increasing need for management professionals. There is also an increasing demand for those professionals to hold higher-level qualifications. Applicants for these roles are therefore at a considerable advantage with a postgraduate qualification and there is a strong emphasis within this programme on the application of knowledge and development capabilities in business management or business information systems. Flexibility within this qualification will also enable aspirations to be matched/targeted to specific employment opportunities. Learners will extend and deepen their knowledge and understanding of current management capabilities and issues in a range of applied settings through experiential learning strategies and reflective practice.
