What will you learn?
Your study will focus on finance, but help you put this specialty into the context of other business disciplines.

To learn about history is to learn about change in the world and in ourselves. Having a better understanding of history will make you more broad-minded as a person and citizen.

Massey offers a range of topics so you can explore your own particular interests. Topics you could study include:

• The history of New Zealand and the Pacific
• Focus on the history of Britain/Europe
• Study pre-industrial society or colonisation
• Social and political history, or
• Contemporary history.

The qualification can be configured to assist you if you are either wanting to become a financial planner or those already in the industry that are looking to gain further certification. Please note that this qualification does not satisfy the educational requisite established by the Financial Markets Authority under the current Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services. A student seeking to be licensed as a financial adviser in New Zealand should consider taking the Certificate in Business Studies (Financial Services pathway) which does grant such status. It will be possible to cross credit some of the credits from the certificate back into the bachelor’s degree as part of the elective schedule.

The Graduate Diploma in Business Studies is useful if you wish to keep up with professional developments in your field and are short of time. Or you may have found yourself working in a different field of business to that in which you hold a qualification.

You need to be a university graduate to enroll in this program. The Graduate Diploma in Business Studies enables you to study another subject without completing a second bachelor’s degree. The graduate diploma is a bridging tool to gain the equivalent of an undergraduate major in a specific area so you can go on to postgraduate study.
