Study Pathway
Complete the NZ Diploma in Business (Level 5) and pathway into the second year of the Bachelor of Accounting or Bachelor of Applied Management.
After completing my certificate in business administration last year and enjoying it so much, I decided to push myself further.
It's been an amazing experience so far and I'm really enjoying the challenges. The support provided by the student success team and tutors is incredible. Being dyslexic I struggled with school and never thought I'd be able to study let alone do a diploma. The teaching and support here has completely changed my perception of learning with dyslexia. I was really nervous when I first started, but pushing myself out of my comfort zone has been the best decision for me and my future. I'm excited to see where this course takes me and what opportunities it opens up for me in the future.
