Which courses after BBA provide higher points for immigration or PR in New Zealand?
Master’s degrees in New Zealand, especially those aligned with skill shortages, can increase your points for permanent residency (PR) under the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) system.
- Master of Business Analytics: In demand, offers 5 points under the SMC system.
- Master of Applied Business: Specializations like Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, and Supply Chain boost employability and PR prospects.
- Master of Management: Fast-tracks graduates into management roles in areas such as Project Management and Marketing.
- Master of Business Studies: Advanced theory and research, preparing for senior business roles.
Completing an NZQCF Level 9 Master’s degree gives you 5 SMC points. To reach the 6-point PR threshold, you’ll need one year of skilled work experience in New Zealand at or above the median wage.
