Top 1% globally
Study under the guidance of experienced lecturers at the University of Waikato’s Management School, which is in the top 1% of business schools globally with our Triple Crown Accreditation (EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB), which we have proudly held since 2005.
Close to the action
The University of Waikato is an ideal place to study international supply chains. It's located in New Zealand’s ‘Golden Triangle’, an economic powerhouse with two ports, inland distribution, an international airport, and world-class agricultural land.
High-tech futures
Hamilton is home to a quarter of New Zealand’s export-driven businesses, with a fast-growing IT and banking sector. A 480-hectare distribution and manufacturing hub is near the university, providing direct rail access to shipping in Auckland and Tauranga.
Course content
Part One is comprised of four core management papers that provide a broader global business context for your learning, so you can confidently handle a wide range of management issues.
For example, you will learn about leading teams of people and managing change; seizing new market opportunities; responding to competitive threats; the impact of global market forces on our economy; and using key financial data to make business decisions.
Students will also gain an understanding of how to create and run businesses that are both profitable and sustainable; good for social and environmental wellbeing, as well as the bottom line.
Part Two you will choose four papers focused on building knowledge in your specialist subject of Supply Chain Management, with the introduction of more advanced ideas.
- Supply Chain Management graduates will be adept at solving complex business problems, with the skills and techniques to design, develop and manage domestic or global supply chains.
Part Three provides opportunities to apply your skills through a High Impact Applied Project, which is designed to pull all your learning together and prepare you for employment.
All MMgmt students will be supported to find a suitable workplace internship or an applied research project with a host organisation.
You will also complete a cultural perspectives paper that examines workplace situations with diverse cultural values and practices, including case studies of Māori businesses.
No research dissertation is required, as the Master of Management is entirely focused on practical application of skills and knowledge.
Further study options at Waikato
Please be aware that graduates of the Master of Management are not eligible for admission to a PhD programme unless they choose to complete some additional research-focused papers at postgraduate level.
If you are interested in doing PhD study later on, then you may prefer to enrol for the Master of Management Studies instead.
