The Master of Commerce (MCom) program fosters independent research capabilities. Beginning with a solid foundation of coursework, students can either build upon established research areas or pioneer new fields of study. The MCom offers two pathways: a combination of coursework and thesis, or a thesis-only option. Candidates with a strong Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) typically complete the program through papers and thesis over at least two years of full-time study. The initial year involves 120 points of selected papers, culminating in a Postgraduate Diploma in Commerce (PGDipCom). Those holding an Honours degree or PGDipCom (or equivalent) may opt for the thesis-only route, which requires a minimum of one year.
Today's business landscape operates in a rapidly changing global context, demanding professionals who can navigate both functional and international boundaries. The International Business specialization equips students for worldwide career opportunities. Our interconnected world, powered by digital innovations like the internet, mobile technology, and social platforms, has transformed traditional business operations. This field focuses on developing strategies for success in our borderless commercial environment. At Otago, International Business studies cultivate cultural intelligence for global commerce, teaching students to navigate diverse business practices, legal systems, and corporate cultures worldwide.
An International Business degree unlocks global career potential. Our alumni possess the skills to analyze and address international business challenges across various sectors - from finance to management, trade to marketing. The program's language component further enhances career prospects: French serves 47 nations, German dominates Central and Eastern European commerce, Spanish connects over 300 million native speakers, while Asian languages like Japanese and Chinese offer additional advantages in global markets.
