An MBA that works for you

The Massey University Master of Business Administration (MBA) gives you the unique ability to choose when and where you study.

Flexibility

You can gain an MBA by studying full-time for a year, or studying completely by distance (online study) over a longer period. There is a unique option for you to choose between the two delivery options and to take between 1-5 years to complete the qualification  –  giving you flexibility and choices to suit your needs.

The shorter one-year full-time option allows you to go back to your career more quickly and move faster into a corporate career.

Real world application

The Massey MBA focuses on giving you the skills to lead with integrity that you can immediately apply in the workforce: You’ll develop your strategic thinking skills, problem analysis and solving capabilities, technology and cultural competencies.

You will learn from business practitioners who will be presenting, mentoring and creating real-world assignments. Your learning will also draw from the most recent research and will be assessed through practical assignments that may be written, oral and/or video recorded. 

The full-time MBA also offers the opportunity of a workplace-integrated experience in a New Zealand firm, or an overseas firm with a New Zealand presence.

Specialisations

We offer specialisations of Business Sustainability, Digital Transformation or International Marketing. These give your qualification a clear differentiation from non-specialised MBAs. Availability depends on whether you study online or on-campus.

Supporting your study and your career

The  MBA in both modes features scheduled lecture sessions (lectures delivered online in the MBA online), group activities, guest speakers from industry, mentors and full-support.

Massey University has decades of experience and specialist academic support services for on campus and distance learning. You’ll have access to scheduled interaction sessions, connecting you with MBA staff and lecturers - and your classmates. Furthermore the Career Accelerator specially offered to MBA and EMBA students will prepare you for making your next career move.

Unique partnership

Our MBA online option is New Zealand's only MBA designed in partnership with the award-winning Wiley Education Services.

You'll get access to  world-class online technology 24/7 and engaging learning methods. This includes online classes and team-meetings, along with forums and group-work. This allows you to network with and learn directly from your peers and faculty. You'll get access to insights from businesses leaders across New Zealand.

No matter which industry you are in, the Massey Master of Business Administration can help you progress into leadership and management roles faster.

As an adept, globally competent graduate you can join local as well as international firms, non-profit organisations, government entities and more. The MBA is specifically designed for emerging managers and leaders. With its strongly applied focus, the programme brings practice into your learning and learning into your practice. It will give you the edge when applying for management and leadership positions.
