What you'll learn
You’ll build expertise in:
- stakeholder engagement
- design thinking
- business process analysis and modelling
- digital strategy and innovation
- digital architecture
- digital project management
- data analytics and insights
- digital transformation consulting.
While the programme includes a course in data analytics to strengthen evidence-based insights and decision-making, it is not a specialised business data analytics qualification. Graduates typically progress to roles such as business analyst, business process consultant, change manager, product owner, or digital transformation consultant, guiding organisations through strategic and technological change.
Career prospects
Our graduates work across the public and private sector at organisations such as Datacom, ANZ, PwC, ACC, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry for Primary Industries, the New Zealand Police, Westpac, the Ministry of Education, and more.
The mentorship programme opened the door to industry events where I could connect the theory I'd learnt to practice.
