Applied Business

In today’s fast-paced commercial world, there will always be a demand for people who can get out there and make things happen. It’s all about skills, experience and attitude.

At Otago Polytechnic’s Applied Business School we are all about helping to make things happen for you.

We pride ourselves on offering business, business administration, computing, travel and toursim programmes designed to suit both school leavers and mature students looking to develop new skills – or even revisit old ones! There are also some great options for professionals looking to formalise or develop their skills in a specific area, with most courses available on a part-time basis.

Our certificate, diploma and degree programmes are all based on the skills you will need in the real world; it’s no surprise that our graduates are recognised by business organisations for being confident, focused and work-ready.
