Does the digital business course involve coding, and will my lack of prior experience be a problem in New Zealand for a Master's?

No, extensive coding experience is not required for Digital Business master's programs in New Zealand. These courses focus on the strategic and managerial use of digital technologies - like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data - rather than technical programming.

Your background in commerce and 12 years of work experience are well-suited for these programs. A foundational understanding of digital tools is helpful, but your lack of coding experience will not be a barrier to admission.
