Combining the benefits of a developed country with the charm of a quiet and peaceful countryside, New Zealand offers some distinct advantages over other countries as a destination for MBA education. An important advantage of the MBA Program in New Zealand is the affordability - getting a degree in NZ actually works out to be cheaper than many similar courses in other countries.
Another significant advantage is the welcoming nature of the New Zealanders and the relative ease in getting there. NZ has recently opened its doors to students from South East Asia. Getting yourself an MBA in New Zealand can change your life forever.
Eligibility
Bachelor Degree:
Most of the New Zealand universities recognize the three-year graduation system for entry into the MBA programme. So, if you have a three-year bachelor degree like Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) or Bachelor of Science (BSc), this is acceptable as it is considered equivalent to a New Zealand Bachelor (Ordinary) Degree.
However, some universities may require an Honours degree. This is usually equivalent to B.Com. (H), B.Sc. (H) or a four year degree course like B.E.
For most good Universities, a good first degree from a leading university in India or its equivalent is essential.
Work Experience:
Most New Zealand business schools require a minimum of three to four years of work experience for admission to the MBA program. This is essential.
There are almost no good options for students, looking for an MBA program in New Zealand that does not require work experience.
GMAT:
GMAT is accepted and recommended by many New Zealand universities for admission to the MBA program.
TOEFL/IELTS:
Students need to take either the TOEFL or IELTS for admission to an MBA program in New Zealand. This is required for almost all business schools.
Famous universities:
University of Auckland
Victoria University of Wellington
Massey University
University of Canterbury
University of Otago
University of Waikato
