You can select from a wide variety of majors and minors, or combine your Bachelor of Science with a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Business.

You’ll learn concepts, principles and theories that you can apply in your chosen career, such as how to interpret, summarise, evaluate and present data and information, and how to solve problems.

In addition to the technical skills you’ll gain through practical experience, you’ll also develop the communication and quantitative skills that are essential to success in New Zealand and international workplaces.
