Bachelor of Business in Organisational Technology Management

at Massey University - Auckland Campus New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Politics and International Relations) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in politics.

Politics is exciting and relevant. It’s about contests for power and how we make decisions in society: who gets what, when and how, from the local community to the global level. It’s concerned with the conflict of ideas and values. It has to do with who governs, with how and why decisions that affect all of us (such as how much students should pay to study at university or whether the UN should sanction military interventions) are made.

In this fast and changing society, it is important to develop versatile and transferable skills that can open many career pathways. English offers exciting and challenging courses to extend your knowledge of literary and media texts and expressive arts. Courses taught in the English program cover a wide spectrum of topics. These include British, American, New Zealand, and postcolonial literature. You will also have the choice of courses in drama, creative writing, speaking, media studies, film, and gender issues. All of these courses are concerned with the fundamental skills of interpretation and expression.
