Overview

You can choose one of three pathways within our new, revitalised programme, depending on the type of project you’d like to undertake, your appetite for research and your career directions:

A longer supervised research project

A smaller research project along with extra courses

A consulting project with a New Zealand business organisation (applied research)

If you’re considering business consulting or other professional careers, our new applied research pathway (180-point MCom) enhances your research and consultancy skills to prepare you for those roles.
