Expand your opportunities in modern-day horticulture with a study programme that combines business management with the latest cultivation and production knowledge.

New Zealand is a world-leader in horticultural production.  Besides being a major export industry, you’re playing an important part in helping the global land-based food sector evolve and meet the growing needs whilst also applying the principles of sustainable production and land care. This is usually a 12-month, full time study programme.

  • Build a firm understanding of business management and the principles of commercial enterprise success.
  • Put your learnings into practice with hands-on practical work as a necessary component of your study.
  • Be immediately employable as soon as you’ve competed your study. 

Practical work

A period of practical work is a requirement for this qualification: 

  • Minimum of 44 weeks of hands-on practical experience (preferably full-time)
  • On at least two different horticultural units.
