MBA degrees are normally from 14 to 16 months full-time. They are very intensive
and highly focussed programmes with differing entry dates between the four
Universities who offer these programmes.
The Universities look at a range of criteria when assessing MBA applicants
including academic qualifications, work history, personal interests and English
levels. MBA applicants normally must have an english level of IELTS (Academic)
6.5.

If you are looking for
New Zealand Business Schools and MBA programmes, you have reached the
right place. This is a listing of the Business Schools in New Zealand. We
will be soon compiling a list of top business schools in new Zealand. If
you are looking for the top MBA programmes and MBA rankings of
countries other than US, please check out the main MBA channel page for
other MBA destinations.
If
you are studying in New Zealand, you must not work unless allowed to do so by
the New Zealand Immigration service.
You can be granted permission to work for upto 15 hours a week.
If
you have a student permit, you may be granted a work permit or a variation of
your student permit to allow you to gain practical experience on completion of a
three-year course, or over the summer vacation.
The New
Zealand rules allow you to take up work after completion of atleast 3 years of
full time education. But most students who can get a job after completion of
their MBA, do manage to get a permit for work there. The New Zealand job market
for MBAs is not really flourishing. Its a small country with a small population
- jobs can be limited at the management positions.
But if you
are smart, and can manage a job with your abilities, it can be a gateway to the
rest of the world. Most people work in New Zealand to later move on to the
western countries where it would be very difficult to find work in when applying
directly from India.
It is
compulsory for students to take out full medical insurance cover. An average
medical insurance cover for a single student would cost approximately NZ$500-600
per year. The Research & International Office holds information on New
Zealand medical insurance companies which can be forwarded on request. http://www.infozee.com/channels/mba/nz/mba-nz.htm
Postgraduate StudiesNew Zealand
Entry to post-graduate studies requires verified confirmation of an acceptable
previous study record and an English language level of IELTS 6.5 or better
depending on the course.
Students who have already completed an undergraduate degree in their home
country must submit this documentation for review by the institution they are
applying to enter. The institution will review the degree course transcript, the
reputation of the issuing institution, when the degree was completed and the
relevance of the degree to the course applied for when deciding the enrolment
application.
If the previous study is in an area not relevant to the course applied for it
is likely the institution will first offer a place in a Graduate Diploma
programme. This is an undergraduate qualification and students who complete this
qualification (may take 1-2 years) with acceptable grades will be allowed entry
into Master degree programmes. Master degrees normally take 2 years.
Alternatively students may be offered entry into a one year
postgraduate diploma programme initially and if they complete this course
successfully they can continue for one further year of study to obtain the
Masters degree.
Some students may receive an offer of direct entry into a
Masters degree if their meets all prerequisite requirements.
