New Zealand Diploma in Sport, Recreation and Exercise (Level 6)
The business side of sport is the focus here: running clubs and facilities, sponsorship and broadcasting deals, ticketing, marketing and the governance of competitions. Management and finance fundamentals combine with an understanding of how sporting organisations are structured. Graduates often work for clubs, federations, venues, agencies and sports brands.
New Zealand Diploma in Environmental Management (Level 5)
Environmental management is about running organisations and land in ways that limit harm to ecosystems, air, water and climate.

Health sciences sit alongside management and social science. Graduates often work in clinical support, health administration, public health bodies and service improvement.
New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Level 6) - Civil Engineering
Civil engineering covers the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment: buildings, bridges, roads, water supply, drainage and other infrastructure.

New Zealand Diploma in Business (Leadership and Management) (Level 5)
Business administration concentrates on running an organisation as a whole: coordinating people, budgets, operations and strategy so that separate departments work in step.
