University of Otago

With an international reputation for quality teaching, the Otago Business School is acknowledged as a centre of excellence and New Zealand's leading business school for research*. From undergraduate to PhD, we offer a range of academic programmes and executive-level study options. Our career-focused programmes equip our graduates with skills, experience and qualifications that are highly regarded both in New Zealand and internationally.

Established in 1976, the Otago MBA is ranked #1 in New Zealand, and our online MBA programme is ranked #10 in the world **. Our graduates enter the workforce with practical, real-world experience, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a strong commitment to their communities. As business becomes increasingly global, we reflect this in our diverse faculty and student body, extensive international study opportunities – including our DBA programme in Dunedin and Shanghai – flexible, interdisciplinary courses, and advanced distance learning options. Our prestigious international accreditations further reinforce our standing as a world-class business school.

While our primary focus is to help our students achieve academic excellence, we also encourage them to embrace the full Otago experience and take advantage of the many extra-curricular opportunities on offer outside the classroom. At Otago Business School we believe in contributing to the long-term collective success of New Zealand in areas such as health, economic development and sustainability, and our forward-driven ethos recognises the important impact that business will continue to have on our wider society.
