“I completed my BBS in International Business through a combination of campus and distance learning papers. Prior to the BBS, I was employed as a computer systems engineer and wanted to change direction – to move across to the business side of the industry. I found that I had no real knowledge of how businesses worked or what skills were needed to succeed in the business world. Study by distance learning provided great flexibility in completing the degree while working. I am now a Senior Corporate Account Manager for Microsoft New Zealand. This role involves working closely with large corporations, software developers.
