In the Bachelor of Retail and Business Management, you will learn broad-based business skills with retail-specific expertise. It is designed to prepare you for a rewarding career in the sector or in general business management.
Real-world learning
The multi-billion dollar retail sector is New Zealand’s second-largest for employment, responsible for seamlessly and endlessly delivering goods and services to New Zealanders.
