WHAT SETS US APART?<br />
EXCELLENCE<br />
Research Rankings<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School has a strong track record<br />
of generating world leading research. The most recent<br />
(2007) national tertiary research evaluations confirmed<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School as the leading researchbased<br />
management school in Accounting and Finance,<br />
and Management, Human Resources, Industrial Relations,<br />
International Business and Other Business. These subjects<br />
represent the large majority of business education research<br />
activity in New Zealand.<br />
Triple Crown Accreditation<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School is a member of an elite group<br />
of business schools that have earned “Triple Crown” status –<br />
an international acknowledgement of excellence in business<br />
education. We’re accredited to AACSB (The United Statesbased<br />
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business)<br />
– the world’s longest-established assessor of business<br />
education, EQUIS (The European Quality Improvement<br />
System) and AMBA (The Association of MBAs). Only one<br />
percent of the world’s business schools have met the strict<br />

emerging theory and real-world, real-time business cases.<br />
DISTINCTION<br />
We are distinct because our purpose is clear. We recognise<br />
that long-term business success depends not just on profit,<br />
but on responsiveness to resource, social and environmental<br />
issues. Sustainable business is at the core of our purpose and<br />
our goal is to become a world leading business school in this<br />
area. <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School was the first Australasian<br />
business school to be accepted into the European Academy<br />
of Business in Society (EABIS) and we have founded the Asia<br />
Pacific Academy of Business in Society (APABIS).<br />
INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY<br />
We have alliances with a number of international universities<br />
and our faculty are drawn from the best universities<br />
around the world. As a global business school competing<br />
in a global market for education and research, our focus<br />
is both international and national. We play a significant<br />
role on the international scene through world leading<br />
research, strong links to multinational companies and major<br />
universities, and by providing education that equips students<br />
for the global business environment. Our faculty bring the<br />
rich experience gained through international research and<br />
consulting connections to their teaching. Our student body is<br />
truly multinational; international students come from more<br />

our student body.<br />

the world and are our biggest asset.<br />

ACCOUNTING<br />
Far more than just number-crunchers, accountants often hold high-level management positions where<br />
fi nancial control, legal compliance and leadership skills are essential.<br />
Accounting is the language of business. Financial accountants<br />
process and communicate financial information for all<br />
stakeholders; management accountants prepare data<br />
for management decisions; tax accountants provide tax<br />
compliance advice, and auditors check the financial reporting<br />
of organisations. Study accounting at <strong>Waikato</strong> and any of<br />
these careers are possible.<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School was rated top in New Zealand<br />
for its accounting and finance research in the Tertiary<br />
Education Commission’s 2007 assessment of tertiary<br />
research. Learn from the best at a school where the academic<br />
requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered<br />
Accountants (NZICA) can be met with an appropriate<br />
selection of papers.<br />

JARED WILLIAMS (BMS)<br />
Audit Senior, Staples Rodway <strong>Waikato</strong> Limited & Co.<br />
“As a chartered accountant I deal to the decimal point, but I also see<br />
the wider picture. I went straight from university to Staples Rodway and<br />
the firm has really developed my expertise. Now they’re sending me to<br />
New York to experience some of the world’s largest businesses. From<br />
there I’m off to London and after that, who knows where? Eventually,<br />
commercial accounting and my own company are the goals.<br />
Accounting offers huge opportunities as the skills apply across the<br />
business spectrum. It’s not about sitting in a back-room playing with<br />
an abacus; accountants head many of our major organisations.”
BUSINESS FUTURES AND LEADERSHIP<br />
Forget the crystal ball, business futures and leadership focuses on managing scenarios through planning<br />
and strategy.<br />
Business futures research is concerned with the longterm<br />
evolution of the cultural, economic, physical and<br />
social environment, and the formation and management<br />
of business strategies. It’s about distinguishing between<br />
prediction and insight. You can’t know the future but given<br />
a range of likely options you can anticipate intelligently, and<br />
learn to adapt and make adjustments that generate positive<br />
and sustainable outcomes.<br />
The Postgraduate Diploma in Business Futures and Leadership<br />
is a broad programme for executives and future leaders that<br />
provides practical ways to manage future challenges and<br />
issues. It also provides a foundation for academic research in<br />
futures in management.<br />

“In Wonderland, Alice comes to a fork in the road and asks "Which<br />
road should I take?" When the cat in the tree asks if she knows where<br />
she wants to go, Alice replies, "No." The cat then says, "Then any<br />
road will get you there."<br />
With the explosion of futures research from megatrends to<br />
microtrends, and the refinement of futures methods, we can select<br />
from multiple pathways with intelligence, and, by also learning from<br />
our mistakes, go forward in better shape.<br />
We don't shape the future by strategic plans; we shape it by our<br />
actions today. I want my grandchildren to inherit a planet fit to live<br />
on and have the chance to do worthwhile work that will sustain them<br />
and their grandchildren.<br />
In consulting nationally and internationally, I find smart<br />
organisations increasingly want executives to cultivate longer-term<br />
outlooks. For leaders, informed forward-looking vision is a core<br />
competence and vital to private and public organisations. Business<br />
Futures and Leadership is an innovative venture designed to prepare<br />
New Zealanders to be proactive rather than reactive in relation to the<br />
major uncertainties ahead. The project is exciting and I have a dream<br />
that the participants will share insights from different sectors and<br />
invent bigger, brighter, and more coherent New Zealand futures.”<br />

CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT<br />
WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL<br />
ECONOMICS<br />
Economists are key players in decision-making. Their analytical skills help people, businesses and<br />
governments make the best choices with their resources.<br />
Economics touches almost every aspect of daily life –<br />
housing, energy, the environment and transport are just<br />
some examples. It looks at how and why people make the<br />
best decisions to allocate scarce resources to meet their<br />
objectives. Understand economics and you’ll be able to<br />
look at the world in a different light and make business and<br />
everyday decisions much more clearly.<br />
Economics is not only about money. In fact, it’s firstly about<br />
people and how they respond to incentives. Almost every<br />
issue in society can be viewed from an economic perspective<br />
and economics is behind much of what happens in current<br />
affairs - from tax rates to car prices, hospital waiting lists<br />
to airfares to international diplomacy. Far from graphs and<br />
theories, Economics is about the real world.<br />

XIAOMAN (CHARMAINE) CUI (BMS)<br />
FX Dealer, ANZ BANK<br />
Foreign exchange dealer and first-class honours graduate Xiaoman<br />
(Charmaine) Cui beat out 6000 applicants for one of only 297<br />
Australasian jobs with ANZ. Peter Green heads up ANZ Bank’s Franchise<br />
Services and thinks Charmaine has what it takes. “She has coped<br />
admirably with the rigours of the dealing room environment and has<br />
shown great ability to learn the ways of the financial markets.”<br />
Cui’s education went beyond economics, finance and the mechanics<br />
of foreign exchange. The young woman from Ningxia, China worked<br />
hard to understand English and Kiwi culture. “I’m always looking to<br />
get involved and find opportunities to stand out from the crowd. And<br />
coming to <strong>Waikato</strong> University has given me the chance to do that.”
ELECTRONIC BUSINESS<br />
The growth of electronic commerce and the knowledge economy means organisations must have<br />
information systems at the heart of their operation.<br />
Every department and individual in an organisation has<br />
specialist knowledge that is vital for company performance,<br />
but often there’s a lack of coordination between these<br />
departments and people. A good information systems<br />
manager can change that by gathering and distributing data<br />
more efficiently and influencing strategic decision-making.<br />
With the growth in electronic business and every aspect of<br />
business now involving electronic technology this subject<br />
gives students the business and technological skills to make<br />
them a crucial part of a company’s management team.<br />

“Stay on the ball. That’s my advice for anyone wanting to enter the<br />
field of IT and management systems. It’s about looking at existing<br />
technologies with a keen eye and having the vision and flexibility to<br />
change and adapt to emerging technologies. The field constantly<br />
evolves, so keep up!<br />
My study was important. I picked-up programming skills, but<br />
I also gained knowledge of IT-related methodologies such as<br />
the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC). I’m now a software<br />
developer for a company that deals in sophisticated mailing-based<br />

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE<br />
Welcome to your business future. It’s global, it’s wireless, it’s online.<br />
Electronic Commerce is about using the Internet to handle<br />
business - the interaction between a business, its customers<br />
and suppliers. Just think of Trade Me and how that has<br />
revolutionised the private sale of goods. Businesses large and<br />
small are using e-commerce business processes.<br />
Our electronic commerce students get hands-on exposure<br />
to the use of website development tools, databases and<br />
communications technologies. They also learn management<br />
skills in finance, accounting, marketing, communications and<br />
supply chain management.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong>s have an excellent balance of technical and<br />
management skills and so are in strong demand for careers<br />
in both the business and technical sides of developing<br />
and integrating Web-based systems that support the<br />
e-commerce business processes.<br />

SCOTT BARTLETT (BECom)<br />
CEO of Orcon Internet<br />
Orcon Internet is New Zealand’s fastest growing and fourth biggest<br />
internet service provider. With over one hundred staff, CEO Scott<br />
Bartlett is a busy man but still has time to return to his uni books<br />
now and then. ”I open them maybe once a year. Sometimes you<br />
need to remind yourself of best practice and theories. The most<br />
valuable things I learnt at university were the concepts of leadership,<br />
entrepreneurship and strategic thinking. That's what you need in this<br />
job, plus organisational behaviour and strategic management skills."
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION<br />
Work for yourself. Use strategies to fi nd opportunities and then make the most of them.<br />
Small and medium sized enterprises have a major impact on<br />
growth, as they generate the wealth and jobs that sustain<br />
economies.<br />
Entrepreneurship and Innovation will teach you to identify<br />
unique qualities of successful entrepreneurial business<br />
strategies and to implement those strategies in the creation<br />
of new business.<br />
This isn’t about ‘seat-of-your-pants’ risk taking. A qualification<br />
in entrepreneurship and innovation will give you the skills to<br />
take on an entrepreneurial role, look at niche opportunities<br />
and extract value from untapped areas. You’ll also learn<br />
business skills that cover planning and development, getting<br />
the product to market and keeping it there.<br />

SIFE competition held in Paris. I was part of that winning team and<br />
so I met students from all over the world who are also active in their<br />

Interested in a great career that centres on money? Compound your opportunities with Finance.<br />
How do foreign exchange dealers handle the volatile kiwi<br />
dollar? Why do share values go up and down? If you study<br />
Finance you’ll understand money, banking, investments<br />
and credit. Bankers, financial planners, corporate treasury<br />
departments, sharebrokers and the Reserve Bank are some<br />
of the players in the finance industry.<br />
It isn’t possible to run a treasury or an investment fund, or<br />
structure the financing of a project, or even invest personally,<br />
without some understanding of finance theory and practice.<br />
Finance students learn about investment decision-making<br />
when time and risk are key considerations, they gain the skills<br />
to examine corporate finance, portfolios and markets, small<br />
business finance, financial modeling and personal financial<br />
planning.<br />
Make a safe investment in <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School. We<br />

JAMES GILL (BMS)<br />
Finance student, golfer<br />
James Gill has been doing the rounds. After uni he took some time<br />
off to play golf. In fact, he took 15 months to see the world and<br />
win three titles and six other major tournaments across 14 different<br />
countries. He’s now studying for a Postgraduate Diploma in Finance<br />
at the prestigious (and golf mad) St Andrew’s University in Scotland.<br />
James knew his golf would make the cut, but he was nervous<br />
he wouldn’t be up-to-par in the classroom. “It’s one of the UK’s<br />
leading academic universities, but I was surprised how well <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
Management School and my BMS degree prepared me. If anything<br />
I was a step ahead of the other students because of the different<br />
areas of business I’d already studied.”<br />
When he’s finished at St Andrews, James wants to turn pro.<br />
But should he decide to settle down at some stage he thinks<br />
he’ll be well equipped. “Finance opens doors. I'm sure my<br />
degree and postgraduate diploma will hold me in very good<br />
stead in the job market.”<br />

operations that make lasting impressions.<br />
Hospitality Management is about the management of<br />
businesses that supply food, drink, accommodation and<br />

plan, control, make strategic decisions, and know the legal<br />
requirements for the industry.<br />
The hospitality industry in New Zealand employs more<br />

See the global picture. International Management deals with business activities that span continents<br />
and cultures.<br />
New Zealand businesses must learn to operate effectively<br />

management teaches you how to analyse international<br />
business environments and to develop effective strategies<br />
for entering and servicing international markets.<br />
Alongside management papers, you’ll learn or continue<br />
to learn a foreign language. These skills prepare you for a<br />

“I'm from Santiago, Chile. I’m here because I’ve got a ‘Chiwi’<br />
(Chilean / Kiwi) husband! My research focuses on how foreign direct<br />
investment impacts local industry in Chile. I'm doing case studies of<br />
foreign-owned firms operating in Chile to understand factors that<br />
influence their decisions to establish linkages with local firms.<br />
Not all foreign direct investment is the same. Some comes in and<br />
goes straight back out again in repatriated profits. Other foreign<br />
investors forge links with local firms – and stronger links mean<br />
more chances for the local firm to upgrade its processes. I hope my<br />
research will help the Chilean Government identify the foreign direct<br />
investment that’s most beneficial for local firms, and attract and<br />
maintain this investment.”<br />

ADDING VALUE<br />
“ A trip into the country taught me there’s so much more value in the environment than<br />
in money or material things. Back home in the Philippines I visited an upland farming<br />
family who lived in a shack-house that was almost falling over. I asked them how<br />
they were doing. ‘Good,’ they said. ‘No problems.’ I thought, ‘What?’ Then it hit me,<br />
the family had enough food to get by, and wonderful mountains and forests to enjoy<br />
every day. That single visit provided the catalyst for my PhD; I’m examining the value<br />
of biodiversity on private and government owned land in New Zealand. I chose New<br />
Zealand to study because New Zealanders have a passion for their environment that’s<br />
driving protection and enhancement initiatives. I’m thrilled to contribute, and hope<br />
New Zealand’s local ideas grow to have global impact. ”<br />

“Sustainability is high priority at Fonterra. It’s vital for the New<br />
Zealand dairy industry that we think long term about protecting and<br />
managing our natural resources.<br />
The focus for me and my team is manufacturing and that<br />
encompasses the sustainable management of our company owned<br />
farms, environmental compliance and resource consents, our use of<br />
energy at all stages of the production process and Fonterra’s overall<br />
growth strategy.<br />
It’s an exciting time; Fonterra’s initiatives are generating sound<br />
sustainable results including water quality improvement, waste<br />
reduction, and in the 2005/6 season Fonterra accounted for 82%<br />
of New Zealand businesses’ total reported national energy savings.<br />
We’re making positive progress towards cutting carbon emissions.<br />
To make these substantial improvements, we work closely with our<br />
farmers and other suppliers; it requires investment in time, money<br />
and research. It also requires managers to have a broad skill base to<br />
deal with major business and sustainability issues. Managers need to<br />
see the bigger picture, be innovative and novel in finding solutions,<br />
create a common focus to gain ‘buy in’ from stakeholders, and<br />
communicate effectively.”<br />

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS<br />
Organisations no longer can use silo thinking – they need to think of themselves as a system.<br />
Organisations once arranged themselves as a series of ‘silos’<br />
– a collection of independent activities with little cohesion,<br />
such as marketing, finance, accounting, and distribution – but<br />
that doesn’t work any more. Today, businesses take a more<br />
co-ordinated approach and a good management system is<br />
like a good team captain – bringing different elements and<br />
individuals together for a common purpose.<br />
Management Systems is about creating and maintaining<br />
operational excellence. This is achieved through strong<br />
information channels that deliver the data necessary for<br />
decision-making and through fluid supply-chains that ensure<br />
well-connected and efficient flows of materials. Information<br />
and web-based technologies make it all happen.<br />
As a systems student, you’ll be challenged to learn how<br />
these efficiencies are created and maintained. As a systems<br />
graduate, you’ll realise just how valuable your knowledge and<br />
expertise is.<br />

PR uses a variety of channels to convey messages and<br />
achieve business goals, including media relations, government<br />
relations, community relations and investor relations. Strong<br />
PR skills are as important to an organisation like Greenpeace<br />
as they are to a local council or an international bank.<br />
Areas of PR include crisis and issues management, event<br />
management, sponsorship and fund-raising, employee<br />
relations and public affairs.<br />
Studying Public Relations builds strong written and<br />
presentation skills, you’ll create PR campaigns, work with the<br />
media, and write and present a variety of texts.<br />

PR and journalism appeal. “PR is everywhere. It’s important, not<br />
just in commercial business but in non-profit organisations too, such<br />
as Rowing New Zealand. As an elite athlete I’m constantly exposed<br />
to PR and I see a lot of job opportunities in that area. Ultimately, way<br />

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE<br />
Social enterprises are businesses conducted in the public interest.<br />
Social Enterprise is about working for more than profit. Social<br />
entrepreneurs develop services for a social purpose delivering<br />
social, cultural, financial and environmental benefits. The<br />
organisations that are formed may be as big as Oxfam or<br />
Greenpeace or as small as a community craft market. They<br />
are driven by social entrepreneurs with an expressed concern<br />
for the well-being of individuals and the communities they<br />
seek to serve.<br />
The boundaries of responsibility for human and environmental<br />
wellbeing are ever changing. Our students study the<br />
relationships between business, government and community,<br />
alongside topics traditionally associated with Not-for-profit/<br />
NGO and community sector studies.<br />
Our postgraduate papers are offered on-line to a community<br />
of students across New Zealand and overseas. The specific<br />
interests of our students can also shape the direction of our<br />
programmes. Through our teaching and research, students<br />
develop a critical awareness of the contribution social<br />
enterprise can have in contemporary societies to enhance<br />
the wellbeing of people and planet.<br />

“They say study broadens the mind,” says Rosie Bentley. “It’s<br />
transformed mine. I’ve been guided, encouraged and challenged to<br />
critique my world view rigorously.<br />
“The Postgraduate Diploma in Management of Not for Profit<br />
Organisations [now named Social Enterprise] helped me understand<br />
the wider social context of issues that had occurred in my workplace.<br />
After completing this qualification I wanted to learn still more.”<br />
A pivotal experience was finding herself in the middle of a G8<br />
summit forum at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Kofi Annan, who was<br />
secretary general of the UN at the time, and other high powered<br />
international representatives were speaking. “I was inspired to<br />
deepen my responsibility for people’s wellbeing.”<br />
This led Rosie to a Master's Dissertation exploring influences on<br />
workplace well-being. Using action research, Rosie and the staff<br />
of an organisation experimented with and implemented some<br />
changes that are still valued today. “Research processes can deepen<br />
understanding of practical issues facing managers,” says Rosie.<br />

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT<br />
Strategic Management is about setting the future for business.<br />
Strategy is at the top level of executive activity. It involves<br />
‘seeing the big picture’ and finding opportunities and<br />
developing sound plans to drive future growth.<br />
As a strategic management student, you’ll learn to identify<br />
internal capabilities and external opportunities. You’ll<br />
learn about entrepreneurship and innovation and develop<br />
analytical and thinking skills as you study resources, industry<br />
trends, competitors and complementors. This subject<br />
considers the “total enterprise” to ensure all resources in an<br />
organisation are coordinated and managed effectively.<br />

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT<br />
Greater effi ciency and effectiveness bring better returns. That’s why Supply Chain Management is such<br />
an important fi eld.<br />
From being buried in the earth to the hot chips on your plate,<br />
there’s quite a journey for your average potato. That journey<br />
from the ground, to the factory, distributor, wholesaler,<br />
retailer and customer is known as the supply chain. The<br />
more efficient the supply chain the better for business.<br />
Companies move forward by using supply chain management<br />
to make their operations more efficient, and therefore more<br />
profitable and sustainable. Students learn about integrating<br />
a company’s internal departments, such as marketing,<br />
manufacturing and procurement, and also about going<br />
outside the company boundaries to create a smooth chain<br />
from raw-goods suppliers, right through production and<br />
distribution to retailers and customers.<br />

adopting good supply chain management will create advantages.<br />

TOURISM MANAGEMENT<br />
Tourism is the world’s largest industry and signifi cantly impacts New Zealand’s economy.<br />
The rapid growth of domestic and international tourism<br />
has led to an increasing demand for graduates who have<br />
a thorough understanding of tourism in its wider social,<br />
cultural, economic, and political contexts. The study of<br />
tourism involves predicting the future - working out what<br />
people will want from their leisure and travel pursuits and<br />
how those wants are implemented and managed.<br />
Students also study the structure of different tourism<br />
organisations, aspects of hospitality and leisure and<br />
the environmental and economic impacts of tourism<br />
operations.<br />

Passionate about Pacific Island tourism, Charlie believes in giving<br />
something back to the communities where he’s worked. With his<br />
third year students he creates business proposals for potential tour<br />
companies, hotels and adventure operators. His students learn to<br />
integrate aspects of marketing, finance, resources and sustainability<br />
in a way that helps potential operators and their communities. “The<br />
business proposals go to the European Community Bank and seek<br />
investment of anywhere from $100,000 to $200 million USD. It’s a<br />
win-win situation. For the students it’s about doing the real thing in<br />
a real environment and when the proposals are successful it means<br />
more support for businesses in the Pacific.”<br />

You won’t fi nd a business degree anywhere else that’s as varied yet focused, fl exible and consistently<br />
high quality. With us you get more than a standard commerce degree.<br />
Why do a BMS?<br />
It’s the focus on management that makes our Bachelor of<br />
Management Studies (BMS) stand out. You’ll receive more than<br />
a solid grounding in your specialty subject, as well as learn<br />
what makes a business tick and what makes a manager great.<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong>’s BMS has long been recognised by employers as<br />
New Zealand’s premier management degree. The extra year<br />
of the BMS compared to other commerce degrees means<br />

to management, you can specialise in up to two different<br />
areas, achieve a good grounding in both and expand your<br />
career options.<br />
Throughout your degree you’ll get practical experience. You’ll<br />
develop a new product and marketing plan in your first year,<br />
take part in a case competition in your third year, and in your<br />
fourth year you’ll investigate an issue within a company and<br />
produce a research report.<br />
Case competition<br />

Finance Strategic Management<br />
Human Resource Management Supply Chain Management<br />

Your second major can be chosen from any undergraduate<br />
subject; this choice may mean that you need to take extra<br />
papers and you will need to carefully plan your programme<br />
in the first year. You might like to consider law, computer<br />
science, a language, or psychology as a second major; if you<br />
are thinking of this option talk to a Management Student<br />
Centre (MSC) Advisor for further information. The inside back<br />
cover of this publication provides MSC’s contact details.<br />
Our goal is for students to graduate with:<br />
> An all-round understanding of management in national<br />
and international business environments.<br />
> A sound understanding of the functional areas of business<br />
and the skills to apply this knowledge in a professional or<br />
management role.<br />
> A specialist knowledge in at least one area of<br />
management.<br />
NEIL GEDDES<br />
BMS <strong>Graduate</strong>, Entrepreneur, TV Presenter<br />
Neil Geddes’ entrepreneurial drive led to the creation of tour<br />
companies Kiwi Experience, Oz Experience, and Stray. Now<br />
his newest enterprise Spaceships has broken the mould in the<br />
campervan market. “We set out to target the people who don’t want<br />
to buy bus tickets, but they still want the backpacker adventure. And<br />
we hit the nail on the head with the Spaceship, which is sort of a cross<br />
between a car and a campervan. When we launched in 2004 it was a<br />
runaway success.”<br />
Neil has shared his skills and knowledge on the TVNZ show Your<br />
Money Sorted, helping people to regain control of their finances.<br />
“When I look at some of the cases we see it’s glaringly obvious what<br />
people aren’t doing. You’ve got to set clear goals, and then take<br />
sensible, logical steps to achieve those goals. Stuff doesn’t just<br />
happen. Having a plan is the only way you can achieve success.”<br />

in-depth and gain the expertise that comes with both.<br />
Conjoint degrees are taken simultaneously and allow you<br />
to complete the requirements for two degrees in a shorter<br />
period of time. A conjoint degree will look great on your CV;<br />
it not only shows you have specialist knowledge in two areas,<br />
but it also shows you’re committed, ambitious and possess<br />
a great work ethic.<br />
The BMS conjoint<br />
The BMS degree can work as a conjoint degree with most<br />
other University of <strong>Waikato</strong> bachelor degrees.<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School’s requirements for the BMS<br />
conjoint degree are shown on the planner on this page.<br />
If your second degree is with a school/faculty outside of<br />
Management, you’ll need to contact that school/faculty and<br />
add their requirements to the planner.<br />

BACHELOR OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE<br />
The Bachelor of Electronic Commerce (BECom) was New Zealand’s fi rst e-commerce degree and it’s still<br />
ahead of the game. You won’t fi nd another e-commerce qualifi cation with the same mix of technical and<br />
business skills and hands-on experience.<br />
Why do a BECom?<br />
The BECom is a career launching pad for anyone who has<br />
the foresight to see the tremendous opportunities and<br />
challenges that lie ahead in the knowledge economy.<br />
Employers want graduates who know more than just a few<br />
e-commerce buzzwords. They want people with applied skills<br />
and a broader knowledge of business and e-commerce. In the<br />
face of global labour shortages, a BECom will equip you for<br />
an industry that’s bursting with opportunity.<br />
Our lecturers are both researchers and business advisors so<br />
they’re hooked into emerging trends and industry needs.<br />
Your classes will also cover broad management areas, so<br />
you’ll study e-commerce from a range of perspectives<br />
including communications, finance and business strategy as<br />
well as hone your technical skills by studying programming<br />
and through industry placements.<br />
You’ll work on a real business challenge which could be<br />
anything from building a website to helping a company<br />
assess its e-commerce strategy. This practical experience will<br />
give you credibility and confidence when you are face to face<br />
with potential employers.<br />

“The Internet has become a major medium for buying<br />
and selling products and services. It offers speed,<br />
convenience, and cost-effectiveness for today's<br />
businesses. To stay competitive, companies need to have<br />
a good understanding of electronic commerce.<br />
I’m a Student Advisor at the <strong>Waikato</strong> Management<br />
School. While I’m picking-up essential customer service<br />
skills, I’m coming to further understand how the Internet<br />
enables an organisation, such as this University, to reach<br />
its students and deliver customised courses and services.<br />
I’d recommend future BECom students take advantage<br />
of all opportunities <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School offers.<br />
While studying, I tutored Management Systems classes,<br />
took part in industry work experience and worked parttime<br />
as a Web Developer in the Web team.<br />

BECom Honours<br />
The BECom Honours degree provides a bridge into further<br />
academic study in the electronic commerce area at the<br />
masters or PhD level. This degree will allow you to investigate<br />
in-depth an academic area of electronic commerce of<br />
interest to you. Because of the focus on further academic<br />
study, the degree includes a research methods paper to<br />
introduce you to the processes and techniques of conducting<br />
and publishing academic research. The methods paper is<br />
normally completed before undertaking the other required<br />
paper – a one paper dissertation (591) – in which you, under<br />
the guidance of an academic supervisor, will devise and<br />
design a research project in the electronic commerce area.<br />
The dissertation work will usually involve the development<br />
of a literature review, selection of appropriate research<br />
methodology and the design and execution of field data<br />
collection. This work is then followed by analysis of the data<br />
collected and the write-up of the dissertation.<br />
Students who have been awarded the BECom degree at<br />
the University of <strong>Waikato</strong>, or a qualification considered<br />
equivalent by the Academic Board, with an academic average<br />
of B+ or better may apply for entry in to the BECom(Hons)<br />
degree. Students will normally complete Honours within one<br />
year of full-time study, or the equivalent in part-time study.

This uniquely focused programme offers you an alternative<br />
business degree to management studies if numbers and their<br />
meaning are your game.<br />
The BBA(Fin) is a three-year degree with a particular emphasis<br />
on financial management, so you can get your qualification<br />
and get on with investment banking or stock broking or any<br />
number of financial sector careers. Rather than covering<br />
the broader aspects of business management, you’ll look in<br />
depth at the quantitative (math based) disciplines.<br />
Your first major will be in accounting, economics or finance<br />
and it’s strongly recommended that you also choose a<br />
second major. While this can be in any subject, you’ll really<br />
focus your qualification if you take a second major in another<br />
BBA subject; you can study any combination of two of the<br />
three subjects, such as accounting and finance, or economics<br />
and accounting. Other good second major subjects include<br />
statistics, mathematics or computing.<br />
If you choose to major in accounting, you can use this degree<br />
(with either an Honours year or a <strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma), as a<br />
route to meet the academic requirements for membership of<br />
the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.<br />

Your second major can be chosen from any undergraduate<br />
subject; this choice may mean that you need to take extra<br />
papers. If you choose to take a second major you will need<br />
to carefully plan your programme in the first year, as you will<br />
need to take a year one paper at 200 level for your second<br />
major. You might like to consider law, mathematics, statistics<br />
or computer science as a second major; if you are thinking of<br />
this option talk to a Management Student Centre Advisor for<br />
further information. The inside back cover of this publication<br />

Nothing’s hotter on the world’s tourism radar right now than New Zealand. Tourism is our fastest<br />
growing industry and it needs skilled managers to steer that growth in the right direction.<br />
Why do a BTour?<br />
With a Bachelor of Tourism (BTour), you will be joining<br />
the world’s fastest-growing industry at a time when your<br />
combination of practical business skills and industry<br />
knowledge will be most valuable.<br />
As tourism and tourist activities grow, so too does the need<br />
for balanced managers that understand the environmental,<br />
cultural and social impacts and benefits of tourism. You’ll<br />
gain an understanding of national and international tourism<br />
management and be well-equipped to shape the tourism and<br />
hospitality industry of the future.<br />
The BTour combines papers from management, leisure<br />
studies and social sciences to offer a broad perspective<br />
of tourism and hospitality. You will learn how these two<br />
industries are changing to accommodate new pressures<br />
and emerging trends as well as gain valuable business,<br />
environmental, social and planning skills and understand the<br />
importance of ethical and culturally aware decision-making.<br />
The BTour has been developed with input from tourism<br />
and hospitality businesses, and senior members of the<br />
sectors continue to guide its development. Our faculty, your<br />
lecturers, consult widely on industry issues and they bring<br />
that hands-on experience of new trends, challenges and<br />
industry responses to their teaching.<br />

“If someone had told me I’d be working at the world’s biggest sporting event – the FIFA World Cup – less than<br />
two years after graduating, I’d have laughed at them, but that’s what I’ve done.<br />
I travel through the Pacific Islands to organise and implement the various tournaments and competitions<br />
in the Oceania Football Confederation portfolio. While I have an affinity with Pacific Island people and a<br />
passion for football, the experience gained through groupwork<br />
in the BCS founded my knowledge of inter-cultural<br />
communication. I came out of uni confident and ready to<br />
use my PR and marketing skills in a sporting context.<br />
Inter-cultural communication and diversity are what drives<br />
me. FIFA has a truly global staff; I’ve met good mates<br />
through my travel to the Islands, Canada, Germany and<br />
Switzerland, and I’ve grown as a person. I’m humbled by the<br />

work with football in Oceania.”<br />

BCS Honours<br />
The BCS Honours degree provides a first year of graduate<br />
study that follows on from the BCS degree. Each subject<br />
already forms part of a recognised field of study and has<br />
a specified programme which takes account of papers<br />
previously passed in the BCS degree. Students who have<br />
been awarded the BCS degree at the University of <strong>Waikato</strong>,<br />
or a qualification considered equivalent by the Academic<br />
Board with an academic average of B+ may apply for entry<br />
into the BCS(Hons) degree. Students will normally complete<br />
Honours within one year of full-time study, or the equivalent<br />
in part-time study.
HIGHER THINKING<br />
“ <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School’s graduates are highly regarded throughout New Zealand’s<br />
commercial sector. They stand out – high calibre students, good all-rounders because of the<br />
diversity and broad scope that the programme offers. The emphasis is on teaching people<br />
to think – and to think boldly. We’re always keen to look pretty closely at students who have<br />
‘<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School’ on their CV. ”<br />

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> certifi cates and graduate diplomas are university qualifi cations that require a relatively<br />
short period of study and provide the opportunity to complete a short, specialised qualifi cation.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> certificates and graduate diplomas provide students<br />
with a pathway to future study.<br />
Who are they suited to?<br />
These qualifications are suitable for the following students:<br />
> Those who have a university degree but want to add a<br />
specialisation different from their major. For example an<br />
accounting graduate might do a <strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma in<br />
Marketing, or an earth science graduate might study for a<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma in Economics.<br />
> Those who have an undergraduate degree and wish to<br />
use a graduate diploma or certificate as preparation for<br />
postgraduate study in a subject.<br />
> Those with relevant experience in an area who want to<br />
take a supporting short, specialised qualification; e.g. a<br />
human resource manager might want to take a <strong>Graduate</strong><br />
Diploma in Human Resource Management, or a business<br />
person with marketing experience, a <strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma<br />
in Marketing.<br />
> Those who are working through the equivalent of<br />
a degree programme in steps. A graduate diploma<br />
represents a "third step" taken after a Diploma in<br />
Management. It is similar to taking a major in an<br />
undergraduate degree.<br />
Subjects<br />
A subject is an area of study. You must select one subject<br />
and complete at least 40 points at 300 level or above for the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Certificate and at least 80 points at 300 level or<br />

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES<br />
Postgraduate certifi cates and postgraduate diplomas are university qualifi cations that require relatively<br />
short periods of study and are targeted to meet particular educational needs. If you are intending to take<br />
a Masters Degree, a postgraduate diploma from <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School is also the fi rst year of<br />
postgraduate study for a masters degree.<br />
Who are they suited to?<br />
These qualifications are suitable for the following students:<br />
> Those with an undergraduate qualification who would<br />
like to increase their knowledge of a particular area<br />
of management.<br />
> Those with a bachelors degree who want to work<br />
towards a masters qualification. For these students the<br />
postgraduate diploma represents the first stage, or first<br />
year of a masters programme. For example, a student<br />
with an undergraduate degree with a major in accounting<br />
can complete the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting<br />
followed by a one-year Master of Management Studies<br />
in Accounting.<br />
The postgraduate diploma and certificate provide a<br />
programme that’s the equivalent of one academic year<br />
in length. Most postgraduate diplomas and certificates<br />
are specialist qualifications. The Postgraduate Diploma in<br />
Management Studies is an exception; it provides a programme<br />
in general management for those with business experience.<br />
For a student with significant management experience the<br />
Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies represents<br />
the first stage of the <strong>Waikato</strong> MBA.<br />

ADMISSION TO DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES<br />
Prerequisites<br />
Admission to the following programmes does not<br />
automatically imply admission to particular papers in the<br />
programmes. The prerequisites for the papers selected<br />
must also be satisfied. In some cases you may need to<br />
complete more than the minimum points required. Such<br />
extra requirements may apply if you have little or no<br />
background in the subject to be studied.<br />
Certificates and Diplomas<br />
You are eligible to apply for these programmes if you have (or<br />
expect to gain) University Entrance.<br />
You may also be eligible to apply for these programmes<br />
through Discretionary Entrance (under 20 years of age), or<br />
Special Admission (20 years or over).<br />
For admission into the diploma, you are also required to<br />
have a relevant certificate qualification, or evidence of<br />
training, experience and ability that makes you suitable<br />
for undergraduate study at the diploma level, as deemed<br />
by the University’s Academic Board.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Certificates and <strong>Graduate</strong> Diplomas<br />
Admission to the <strong>Graduate</strong> Certificate is dependent upon<br />
either having a bachelor degree or being able to provide<br />
significant relevant work experience. Normally, certificate<br />
students will complete relevant prerequisites for the required<br />
papers. However, in some cases work experience may be<br />
counted in lieu of prerequisites.<br />
TONY PAINE<br />
Director, Christchurch Arts Centre<br />
"I'm passionate about social enterprise<br />
and my qualifications in that area, a<br />
postgraduate diploma followed by a<br />
masters, extended my thinking and practice<br />
as a manager. New Zealand would be<br />
pretty grey and lifeless without the kinds of<br />
businesses that are about so much more than<br />
making money, and <strong>Waikato</strong> Management<br />
School’s contribution to the social enterprise<br />
sector is an important part of making sure we<br />
continue to make a difference."<br />
For admission into the <strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma you are required<br />
to have a degree from the University of <strong>Waikato</strong> or a<br />
qualification considered by the University’s Academic Board<br />
to be equivalent. However, you may be accepted into the<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Diploma if you have the training, experience and<br />
ability which the University’s Academic Board considers<br />
suitable for a diploma. This usually means being able to<br />
provide evidence of at least three years of relevant work<br />
experience.<br />
Postgraduate Diplomas and Certificates<br />
Admission to the Postgraduate Diploma and the Postgraduate<br />
Certificate is normally dependent on having a bachelor<br />
degree completed with a B grade average in the subject to<br />
be taken for the qualification.<br />

CHOOSE YOUR QUALIFICATION<br />
WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL<br />
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> Management School has an active and successful<br />
research programme. The University of <strong>Waikato</strong> offers two<br />
full-research degrees; the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and<br />
the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), both of which are actively<br />
carried out within the <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School. The<br />
MPhil and PhD degrees are guided and administered by the<br />
University of <strong>Waikato</strong> with support and supervision provided<br />
by <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School.<br />
The PhD is the pinnacle of academic achievement, and our<br />
doctoral degree is one which is internationally respected.<br />
The <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School has been successfully<br />
graduating PhD students for over 25 years and currently we<br />
have more than 90 students enrolled, and a number of them<br />
completed in 2008.<br />
You will enjoy the benefits of a respected and experienced<br />
doctorally-qualified supervisory staff. Currently, almost<br />
three-quarters of our equivalent full-time staff are PhDqualified.<br />
Most publish extensively and consistently in highlevel<br />
international and peer-reviewed journals and a number<br />
are involved in industry or government.<br />
We are also AACSB and EQUIS accredited which attests to<br />
the quality of our research qualifications.<br />
We are very proud of the accomplishments and success of<br />
our graduates. Many have gone on to academic positions in<br />
universities that are themselves a benchmark of our success,<br />
or to senior and highly-influential positions in business and<br />
industry.<br />
PROFESSOR STEWART LAWRENCE<br />
"At <strong>Waikato</strong> Management School we are committed to making a<br />
difference. We do this through research which critically examines<br />
current practices and lays the theoretical foundation for future,<br />
better practices. In my case, I am involved in research projects that<br />
examine a communitarian approach to formulating strategy for<br />
sustainable development in the Lake Taupo district; sustainable<br />
practices of NZ businesses; and how we can retain and improve<br />
intellectual capital in our health sevices so they meet the challenges<br />
of the next generation. It's all about making the world a better<br />
place for all of us."<br />
PROFESSOR JULIET ROPER<br />
"Supervising PhD students is a satisfying win-win process. Students<br />
get to work closely on a research project with a mentor who is<br />
interested and who has expertise in the same area. For staff, it’s<br />
an opportunity to work with students who can bring renewed<br />
perspectives and avenues to the supervisor’s area of research<br />
interest. My key areas of focus are sustainable business, sustainable<br />
development and corporate social responsibility and often the<br />
projects we work on are part of a larger, collaborative effort with and<br />
other students and their supervisors – which is even more exciting."<br />
What makes our programmes so successful?<br />
We believe that our support network for research students<br />
makes an important contribution. Our Management Student<br />
Consultant – <strong>Graduate</strong> is on-hand to assist with a wide range<br />
of administrative questions. Academic support is provided by<br />
your supervisors, who are backed by an extensive network<br />
within the School including the <strong>Waikato</strong> Management<br />
School Qualification Convenor Doctoral Studies, Department<br />
Chairpersons and Department <strong>Graduate</strong> Convenors. Library,<br />
database and computer resources and support (see page<br />
71) provide important access to information and reduce<br />
technical barriers.<br />
We work to provide a supportive environment for students<br />
engaged in research by organising and encouraging student<br />
participation in research seminars, departmental working<br />
papers and local and international conferences. All are<br />
important in building investigation skills and acquiring the<br />

WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL<br />
GLOSSARY<br />
Adult Learner<br />
Includes all those students who are not school-leavers and<br />
covers a wide range of ages.<br />
Assessment<br />
A degree/certificate/diploma is awarded after a student's<br />
knowledge has been assessed by the teaching staff.<br />
Assessment methods include tests and exams, essays,<br />
reviews and other pieces of writing, laboratories and<br />
workshops, and some oral work.<br />
Bachelor Degree<br />
This is a first degree. It is sometimes also called an<br />
undergraduate degree. It takes a minimum of three to four<br />
years of full-time study to complete a bachelor degree.<br />
Calendar<br />
The university's official record of rules and regulations,<br />
staff, papers, dates etc.<br />
Conjoint Degree<br />
A conjoint degree allows you to fulfil the requirements of<br />
two bachelor degrees in a shorter period of time.<br />
Co-requisite<br />
A co-requisite is a paper that is complementary to other<br />
papers. While the knowledge gained from one paper is not<br />
required to take the other paper, students are required to<br />
complete both of them.<br />
Core/Compulsory Paper<br />
A key paper that must be passed as part of a particular<br />
degree or diploma.<br />
Corresponding Papers<br />
Corresponding papers are either equivalent papers<br />
(in effect the same papers, one of which was taught in the<br />
past with a different code number) or papers which share<br />
a significant amount of common content. Students may<br />
therefore receive credit for only one of the papers listed as<br />
corresponding to each other.<br />
Degree<br />
A degree is a structured course of study in a particular<br />
area of study such as management or communication.<br />
Each degree has a different 'make-up' with a set number of<br />
papers at different levels. To complete a degree, a student<br />
must take the papers required for that degree.<br />
Department<br />
An academic unit within a School of Studies/Faculty<br />
which is responsible for teaching a particular subject<br />
or discipline e.g. economics.<br />
Diploma<br />
A qualification gained from the equivalent of one year's<br />
full-time study.<br />
Discipline<br />
A general subject area e.g. economics or marketing.<br />
Elective<br />
Elective papers are papers which are not part of the<br />
compulsory papers for your degree or major. These papers<br />
can be anything you choose.<br />
Field<br />
A general area of academic study that includes a number of<br />
related subjects.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong><br />
A graduate is a person who has been awarded a<br />
university degree.<br />
<strong>Graduate</strong> Qualification<br />
Students who have successfully completed an<br />
undergraduate qualification in a different subject area,<br />
or have relevant work experience, may take a graduate<br />
qualification. <strong>Graduate</strong> qualifications include diplomas and<br />
certificates.<br />
Lecture<br />
You will normally be required to attend two to four hours<br />
of lectures each week for each of your papers. There may<br />
be as many as 350 students in a lecture. The lecturer stands<br />
at the front of the lecture theatre and speaks,<br />
writes on the board, shows overheads, videos etc while<br />
you listen and note down the most important information.<br />
These notes are important as they form the starting point<br />
from which you'll do further research.<br />
Major<br />
This is the main subject in which you specialise. You must<br />
select a first major for a Bachelor Degree, and normally you<br />
can opt to take a second major either from the subjects<br />
listed for the Bachelor Degree or from any undergraduate<br />
subject.<br />
Master<br />
A masters degree is an advanced qualification that normally<br />
builds on an undergraduate degree. Some masters degrees,<br />
such as the Master of Management Studies, are specialist<br />
degrees that allow concentrated study of one subject area.<br />
Other masters degrees, such as the Master of Business<br />
Administration, are generalist degrees that cover a range<br />
of subject areas.<br />
Paper<br />
A paper is similar to a subject at secondary school.<br />
To complete each paper you will be require to participate<br />
in a range of lectures, tutorials and groupwork.
PAPER CODE<br />
Paper codes contain information about the subject, level and timing of the paper.<br />
For example the paper ACCT451-09A (HAM) Advanced Taxation can be broken down as shown.<br />
ACCT This is the subject code, in this case accounting<br />
4 This is the level of the paper, in this case 400 level<br />
51 and its unique identifier, in this case 51<br />
09 The year it is taught, in this case <strong>2009</strong><br />
A This is the semester indicator that tells you in which period of the year<br />
the paper is taught;<br />
S = Summer School (January – February)<br />
A = First semester (February – June)<br />
B = Second semester (July – November)<br />
Y = Full year (February – November)<br />
C, D and E = Papers taught in periods which do not correspond with the<br />
normal semester or full year periods.<br />
(HAM) Where the paper is taught, in this case Hamilton<br />
TGA = Tauranga<br />
NET = Internet<br />
Paper Level<br />
100 level papers are normally introductory, exposing you<br />
to the scope of the topic and its terminology and preparing<br />
you to proceed in the subject or in related subject areas.<br />
200 level papers normally develop the theory and<br />
methodology of the topic or subject as a framework for<br />
later synthesis or evaluation of material.<br />
300 level papers rely less on structured teaching and<br />
assessment and require greater student participation both<br />
in timetabled classes and through seminars and workshops.<br />
More self-directed learning and a greater degree of<br />
intellectual flexibility are expected.<br />
400 level papers usually have a greater emphasis on<br />
critical thinking regarding the theories and models of the<br />
subject concerned, providing a foundation for study at<br />
graduate level.<br />
500 level papers are informed by the leading edge literature<br />
of the subject area and are practice relevant.<br />
Point<br />
Points are the way in which we calculate a degree.<br />
Each paper is worth 15, 20, or 30 points, and a<br />
bachelor degree is worth between 360 and 480 points.<br />
120 points is a full-time, full-year programme.<br />
Postgraduate<br />
Postgraduate refers to advanced study above<br />
undergraduate level.<br />
Prerequisite<br />
A paper which must be satisfactorily completed before<br />
entry to another specified paper can be approved.<br />
POINTS VALUE PER PAPER<br />
Paper Level Points Value<br />
100 15<br />
200 20<br />
300 20<br />
400 20<br />
500 (modular) 15<br />
500 30<br />
One full time year of study is considered to be equivalent<br />
to 120 points. Therefore, in one year, eight 100<br />
level papers, six 200 level, 300 or 400 papers, or four 30<br />
point 500 level papers, is a full-time study load.<br />
Programme of Study<br />
The papers that you are enrolled in each year make up<br />
your programme of study for that year. Most undergraduate<br />
first year programmes will involve seven or eight papers.<br />
Qualification<br />
An official record of achievement awarded on the successful<br />
completion of a degree, diploma or certificate.<br />
Restriction<br />
Restricted papers share a significant amount of common<br />
content. Students may therefore receive credit for only one<br />
of the papers listed.<br />
School of Study or Faculty<br />
A grouping of departments responsible for teaching and<br />
research in related subjects.<br />

WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL<br />
GLOSSARY<br />
Semester<br />
Similar to a school term, a semester is a teaching period<br />
of approximately 12 weeks. The University of <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
has two semesters per year and they are known as the<br />
A Semester, which starts in February and ends in June, and<br />
the B Semester which starts in July and ends in November.<br />
We also have a six-week Summer School that runs over<br />
January and February. Most of the papers offered by<br />
The University of <strong>Waikato</strong> are semester papers but there<br />
are some full-year papers.<br />
Specialisation<br />
Similar to a major, a specialisation is a formally recognised<br />
specialised programme of study within a major, subject, or<br />
qualification.<br />
Subject<br />
An area of study, e.g. accounting, public relations or<br />
tourism management.<br />

MCOM Management Communication<br />
MKTG Marketing<br />

STMG Strategic Management<br />
TOMG Tourism Management<br />
Summer School<br />
Summer School starts at the beginning of January<br />
and runs for six weeks, followed by a week of Summer<br />
School examinations. Summer School papers are used by<br />
students to "catch up" on failed papers, to fit in with other<br />
commitments, to reduce workload in other semesters or<br />
as a "kick start" to some graduate programmes. Summer<br />
School offers a limited range of papers.<br />
Timetable<br />
Your timetable is your programme of lectures and tutorials.<br />
Once you are enrolled in your papers you can view your<br />
timetable at http://timetable.waikato.ac.nz/<br />
Tutorials/Workshops<br />
In addition to attending lectures you will also attend<br />
tutorials or 'tutes' as they are more commonly known. A<br />
tutorial is a smaller group of people than in your lecture<br />
and usually consists of 20-25 students. The tutorial is<br />
led by a tutor who may be a postgraduate student or<br />
a member of the academic staff (your tutor is not usually<br />
your lecturer). In tutorials you talk about issues which have<br />
arisen out of the lectures and the readings you have been<br />
doing. Sometimes there are exercises or small tests to<br />
complete. As well as leading the tutorial group the tutor is<br />
also responsible for marking your essays and assignments.<br />
Remember your tutor is there to help you so if you don't<br />
understand what's going on in your lecture or tutorial or<br />
you're not sure what your essay topic means, don't be afraid<br />
to talk to your tutor about it.<br />
<strong>Undergraduate</strong><br />
A person who is studying at university for a first degree<br />
(or a bachelors degree) is known as an undergraduate.
