Collaborative Learning

Otago MBA offers an intimate, intercultural learning experience with an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. In addition to individual assessment, our approach involves students working in syndicates of four or five to exercise leadership, management and intercultural communication - the skills required to successfully lead teams and businesses in a globalised business environment.
