You can work part-time (up to 25 hours/week) during your Master's in New Zealand and full-time during scheduled breaks. After graduation, you may be eligible for a post-study work visa (PSW), typically valid up to three years, allowing you to work full-time in roles related to your qualification.

With a Master's in Commerce, common career paths include:

- Accounting: Accountant, auditor, tax consultant, management accountant
- Finance: Financial analyst, investment banker, financial planner
- Marketing: Marketing manager, brand strategist, market researcher
- Management: Business development manager, operations manager, project manager
- International Business: International marketing executive, logistics coordinator, global sales manager

Visa rules and job market conditions are subject to change.
