Director's Message

We are New Zealand's leading international MBA programme offering a unique academic adventure where a diverse group of students from all corners of the world come together to stretch personal boundaries, add real value to their careers and explore our wonderful natural environment.

With a class size limited to around 30 students, we take teamwork and personal attention very seriously.

Those who choose Otago for their MBA are an extraordinary bunch.  They are forward-thinking and progressive, committed to hard work and adventure, value personal achievement and social responsibility. When you join the Otago MBA academic adventure you share your MBA experience with people who have chosen a road less travelled in the MBA world.

Our students love the lifestyle offered by Dunedin and Otago with spectacular landscapes, mountain-biking and hiking trails, surfing beaches, vineyards, ski fields, and a host of other outdoor attractions on our doorstep.

The University of Otago is New Zealand’s first university and is ranked as the country’s number one research university. The reputation of the university is well established around the world and this is reflected in the academic rigour of our MBA.  The environment oozes adventure and this is reflected in the character of the students who join our programme.

A few words from our very own head honcho...

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the Otago MBA, the School of Business and the University of Otago. Better still, give me a call or send me an email.
