Leadership and Management strand

You can be a great manager!

There is more to management than being a good leader. It means having an understanding of the complexities of management processes, planning, and the New Zealand business environment.

Advance yourself – gain the tools to motivate, engage, make a change, achieve objectives, manage workflows and ensure you are meeting all your necessary legal and organisational requirements as a manager.

Other options

NMIT currently offer the New Zealand Diploma in Business with options in Accounting or Administration and Technology.

Applied learning

From day one on the New Zealand Diploma in Business (Leadership and Management) at NMIT you will be applying what you learn to real world scenarios. 

Students spend half their time in a traditional classroom environment and the other half working through challenges as part of a business team. Organising events, balancing project budgets, negotiating contracts are just some examples of the skills you will be practicing.

Industry have told us that the life skills learners gain from applied learning is vital in their ability to hit the ground running when they graduate.
