We have an article for managers who wish to move to New Zealand. But many people are asking what kind of jobs they can work in after acquiring business or management diplomas.

Diplomas in business or management are very popular, as this is a fairly broad direction and can include a lot of different knowledge. General programs include basic skills of the most important disciplines, such as marketing, human resources management, New Zealand legislation and some others. There are more niche disciplines too, where you will gain deeper knowledge of one particular area.

At the end of the course, students receive a Post Study Work Visa. You can read more about this visa in our article. In order to extend your working Post Study visa or get residency, you need to find a job that will be related to the training you have undergone. That is, you must apply the acquired skills at the new job, and your job description should be logically correlated with the subjects you studied, although not necessarily one hundred per cent. In addition, this work should be considered qualified.

Below you will find an example of positions that are suitable for one or another specialisation of business diplomas.
