Closed to new learners

OP700107 Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Management) is closed to new learners from October, 2022.

Our staff have been working collaboratively with NZIST and staff from the other polytechnics who offer accounting courses, to prepare to move to a unified Bachelor of Accounting programme. The new Bachelor of Accounting is now available, visit this webpage to find out more: Bachelor of Accounting

As a result of this work, all institutions in the network of NZIST subsidiaries, will be progressively closing current accounting courses as we prepare to offer new courses being developed for the unified programme.
