As the global economy has grown and become more interconnected, businesses everywhere have become more dependent on international markets for both customers and raw materials. As these businesses grow and evolve, there will be a growing need for graduates of Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Commerce to apply your learning and experience in taking goods and services from Aotearoa-New Zealand to the world and bringing the world back to us.
